Welcome Cross Slide. What have you chosen for your steam engine? Looking forward to seeing that progress.
The first one I’m going to do is from a set of plans I found on eBay. It uses all bar stock CRS, Brass, & Aluminum. That one will give me some experience shooting for a specific measurement as well as some new techniques.
After that I’m going to do a Stuart 10V from castings that I bought a year or so ago.
