Hello from Wirral Merseyside

[paul chongParticipant @paulchong93211]

Hello Folks I found the forum whilst building a Stuart D10 vertical engine and looking for information, so here is the intro

I am an Electrician who is the wrong side of 50, I am also an avid caver but with an interest in engineering and such stuff, I like steam engines and built an Elmers horizontal mill engine after finding a set of drawings online and enjoyed it so much that I bought a set of castings for the Stuart D10 which was supposed to be a summer evenings project, however I completed it during Lockdown, so now I am looking around for something else.

I own a small Chester Conquest lathe that I have upgraded with new tapered tension bearings and metal drive sprockets and also a Hobbymat BFE65 mill that I squeeze into my 8×10 shed along with a Trend router table a 36" wood lathe,band saw and table saw plus a ton of other stuff so as you can imagine I am very limited for space and usually have to drag stuff out and set up on black and decker workmates in the garden.

That is about it…Hello

Welcome, Paul, this is a great place to get info on stream engines and also your machine tools, lots of new blood joining every week.

Hi Steve, Thank you for the welcome

I did not really document any builds but here is a bit of video of the Stuart that I just built on its first run.

I tried to embed pictures but having no luck I am afraid.
