National insurance is sure something the U National insurance is sure something I wish the USA had. I am one of the million or so in the US with no health insurance, just praying nothing drastic happens. On disability and just got medicare, which I am told covers almost nothing...

That is nice. I like that. Good work. ;D

How can one go about getting a set of plans for this. That looks great.

Well now that sounds like something I think we all do now and than. Like me you was just making sure you knew how to make it before ya made one, right? Good job on both tho.

Now I like that. After all I am better at woodworking than metal working and I have been looking for a way to hide my cans. That is nice. Now if only the engine would take them to the curb???

Nice looking engine. Welcome to the board.

That turned out great. Know all about the cracked mags. Used to collect hit and miss engines. Alas I sold all the big ones and now stick with the models. Nice job.

Nice shop. That mill and mine could pass for twins. Hope you have better luck with the dro than I. The cables keep coming loose on mine and emails to the company I bought from went unanswered. Again nice shop.

Welcome to the site. I am sure you will learn a lot from these people and will be looking forward to seeing some of your work.

If you don't make mistakes you have not learned anything. Mistakes you remember, getting it right the first time is soon forgotten.

That elevator looks great and that steam shovel is just out of this world. You should make up a set of plans for the shovel for us lesser machinists so we can give it a go. Just love seeing things like this.

By all means keep going. I along with a lot of others would like to see more on this. Thanks Bogs for the great postings.

I believe these types of posts do belong here. Any type of machine work has its place here as any repairs made can be used in a smaller scale but the main thing is it gets us to thinking of how we can use the info to work on our smaller engines and things. The learning process never stops.

Those look great. MY hope someday is to build a traction engine myself. Great looking machining on the new one. Keep us posted as to how it is coming along.

Welcome to the board. You'll learn a lot from these guys(and gals).

Those pieces look great. Keep up the good work and will be looking forward to seeing more.

John, we all get "grumpy" and such at one time or another. Haven't been on this site for too long but from what I have seen you have no apologies to make. Enjoyed reading your little book and plan to make a stab at that engine sometime in the future. Everything will eventually work out just hang...

Welcome to the site. I am sure you will enjoy it and learn alot as I do. Great bunch of people here.

Good looking engine and by all means post more pictures as you go along.

Nice looking job. Do you do your own powder coating?
