Hi MJM - thanks for looking in.

It was really enjoyable - I met lots of very fun people. I picked up a set of Mery Engine castings:

I'm looking forward to that in the fullness of time. Next up will actually be a beam engine - I'm very close to finishing repair of my mill, so once done I will start a beam engine and also a bar stock engine. I have decided to run 2 engines together. I will likely film the builds and show them on my youtube channel.

Stan Stocker:
Hi Folks,

It was a really nice show.  Not a vendor / auction fest, not full of unrelated stuff.  Very much like the earliest cabin fever shows where the focus was on the exhibits and people.  The club members did a superb job, the show ran very smoothly for only the second year they have been holding it.  I hope the show will continue, and that I'll be back for it.

Hi Stuart, that casting set should make up a nice engine.  I do hope you will post a few pictures here as well as on U-tube.  I know that I for one am often data and time limited so I rarely watch videos of any length.  I get more out of still pictures and open and enjoy all the pictures people post.  I also look forward to seeing what you build from barstock.

I hope the mill refurbishment is going well, and you will soon be back to building engines.

Hi Stan, I completely agree. A really nice show with complete model engineering focus.

MJM - thank you. I very much appreciate your interest. Once I get up and running I’ll post a build log. Mill repair is going very well - I kind of overdid it but have learned lots in the process. Currently I’m machining a new pulley for the belt drive because they are not obtainable any more. A bit of an exercise but very enjoyable.
