Hello, I'm a 19 year old from Crediton Devon Currently studying aerospace engineering with FlyBe.

I've got a small machine shop, purpose built for creating high precision swarf and the occasional real component, but i've recently been looking for a larger project to undertake, possibly a small steam engine so hoping this forum will inspire me.

I'd also love to meet some people from the area with the same interests as me since it's pretty rare to come across someone who loves old machines like i do, (especially my age).

i have a Colchester chipmaster, Pallas V1 mill, Progress 4E drill, here are some pictures of my workshop: **LINK**

Hi Curtis,

Welcome to the forum, I live just outside Barnstaple so not that far from you.

Should you be interested in joining a model engineering society in the future then the Tiverton club is the one I belong, you would be made welcome should you ever consider it. There is also an Exeter club, the Tiverton club has a very nice 3.5 inch / 5 inch track should you ever decide to build a loco and need somewhere to run it.

Ron.

Welcome.

That is a great looking workshop. The placement of the vdf is not so clever though.
