Hello from Wirral Merseyside

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 8x10 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

Hello Paul,

Also on the Wirral but probably the other end from you.

Hi Phil, Thank you for the welcome Wallasey Village here.

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 Paul & welcome. Would be nice to see some pics of your builds.

Steve.

Thank you for the welcome Old Mart, I see plenty to interest me on here and already starting to suffer from tool envy, Cheers Old Mart

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.
