I am assuming the Graham referred to is not me, as I much prefer machining from solid whenever possible.

My best regards

Hi Jason.

With over 40 years experience in making mistakes I probably could have written it myself!!   :)

Cheers Graham.

Graham M, it was the other Graham I had in mind though I'm with you on cutting from solid or fabricating.

Think I actually need to send the book to Graham's Bronze Foundry :(

Great job on the Fiat engine Graham. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Thanks Guys for the compliments on the Fiat engine.

Progress has been very slow this year. A leaking workshop roof, health issues and diversions into Myford Super 7, 254 lathe attachments have slowed progress on this and my Clayton Steam Timber Tractor. Hopefully next year will bring more shop time.

My best regards
