As I am new to this forum I thought I will introduce myself. I am semi retired, and have spent my entire working life (50 years this month) in engineering. From all aspects of machining through to toolmaking. I ran my own engineering sub contract business for 38 years.

My main hobby is now classic cars, but it was classic bikes before that. My main interests in model making is internal combustion engines. My workshop has a BL920 lathe, a Mill-drill and a universal cutter grinder. My current project is the Boll Aero 49 (8cc) glow plug motor, and when that one is done I have several drawings to contemplate.

Welcome Barry, you will find lots to interest you here as well as some very helpful people if you have any questions. I have a 1931 Austin Seven so you are certainly not alone.
