GRAUBELE:
Hello community
 
 A few days ago I just registered here in the forum.
 My name is Dieter and I am located in south/west of Germany.
 Two years ago finished working and I reached a new milestone in my live: retirement.
 
 Since a young boy, my hobby was RC model airplanes and all kind of mechanics.
 At the very early 1980th, I was building more or less successful a few model airplane engines, by scratch build.
 During the years, I added interests like Harley Davidson motorcycles, model steam engines, vintage tractor and full size stationary engines to my hobbies.
 Here in my 150 miles radius around "home base", I have several friends who build model steam engines and internal combustion model engines by them self.
 
 My first activities here at the forum will be mainly reading article from members.
 Then in step two, I will start building a Henry Ford first engine, to find back into internal combustion engine building after more than 40 years.
 
 My professional training is as a toolmaker and master mechanic.
 But now, I have to work with small and simple lathe and milling machine at hobby size.
 Improvisation is necessary. About two weeks ago, a new lathe weighing about 200 kg (441 lb) moved into my very small workshop. I'm currently still setting it up.

Best regards, Dieter

 If anyone wants to know where the user name GRAUBELE comes from, the picture shows a model aircraft with the name GRAUBELE-III from the year was constructed in 1939.
 (My last completed model airplane project.)
