Reabo, all my "steam" engines have the male air compressor fitting installed that matches the female air fitting from my compressor. I just put an on/off fitting in-between and away I go. Grasshopper

Zeb, I didn't know Mustang pilots (USA I assume) wore British style skull caps and oxygen delivery systems. I thought they wore headgear more like this. I'm assembling a mannequin with all the equipment I believe my Dad wore during His time in the B-24. In 2019, I was lucky enough to be on a...

Zeb, is your Avatar a WWII English Fighter Pilot, Spitfire or Hawker Hurricane? My Dad was a WWII B-24 top turret gunner and was shot down and a POW for 15 months. I'm a WWII history buff. Grasshopper

Now everyone knows why I got out of that God forsaken piece of $hit state.

God, I love my 1967 VW. I can actually work on it. WHAT, you’re saying in the future I can’t drive it in California?

You're welcome. Ya gotta love living in the USA where you can believe whatever you want to.

ozzie46, since you're a Bible thumper, something for you to think about. Take a seed and put it on a table. You can do anything to it except put water on it. Pretty much just sits there. Put water on it and it sprouts. Most people consider this to be life. Is it possible, water is God? According...

How do you know Mother Nature isn't God? From a book written by human men?

Mother nature is ALWAYS in charge. When we humans REALLY screw up everything, she will slap us down in an instant unless we have gone to another planet to screw that one up.

The world is 196.9 million square miles. CA is 163,696 square miles, 0.083% of the earth's surface. You think that little amount is going to make a difference if other countries give the rest of the world the middle finger on pollution?

I suggest that the next time you visit California, stay there about 5 or 6 months, then tell me you like California. It is a group of the most stupid, insane, illogical, no common sense idiotic bozos. I grew up in the 50's and 60's there, Greatest time to be a kid and a young adult. Then the...

Ved, I always love your "outside the box" thinking. Grasshopper

I learned this a long time ago, "You can't legislate morality".

AAHH, the human being. Ask the question, "Why is there air?" and thousands of humans will chime in with their opinion on why it's needed and why we don't need it. And remember, opinions are like arm pits, everyone has them and they all stink, even mine. My opinion, the problem is too many...

In 1965 in a college Physics lab, I learned electrolysis by separating water into Hydrogen and Oxygen with a car battery and a bucket of water. HHMMM, I wonder if I could run my car on water? The Hindenburg showed me that Hydrogen burns. I even bought a DIY instruction on how to build it but...

When was the climate on Earth NOT changing? Geologists say at one time, the surface of the Earth was molten lava. Then the surface was all ice. So to me, the climate on Earth is ALWAYS changing. Stupid humans are changing Earth, just faster. Grasshopper

I lived in California since 1949. 50's, greatest time to be a kid. 60's, greatest time to be a young adult. In the early 80's, I saw the political winds starting to change direction. Made my decision to get out of Dodge in 2012. Finally moved to Indianapolis in 2017. Best decision I ever made...

Brian, I know exactly where you're coming from. I got to about 85% of building your Simple Beam Engine. Then I hit "burn out". For about the last 6 months, I've gotten back to my original love, car models, mostly in 1/8 scale. I'm currently working on a 1970 Porsche 917 from IXO Collections in...

I've gotten most of my bolts and screws from Bolt Depot. boltdepot.com Grasshopper

Ron, I'm going to be in the same boat as Vermontguy. I'm 75 years old and I know at some time in the future, I won't be able to work with my Bridgeport mill and LeBlond lathe. If I'm able, I would downsize to maybe a Sherline Shop of their mill and lathe products. Where can Gary Schoenly be...
