Hi,
when I briefly introduced myself in my first post, I had not discovered this "hello" section. I live in Germany, about 1 1/2 hrs from Berlin, and have been building small Stirling and steam engines (most of them running on compressed air) since 2004. As I had no previous metalworking experience, my initial learning curve was pretty steep. i.e. I made a lot of mistakes. My workshop includes a Proxxon PD230 lathe and the smallest Proxxon mill (PF230). My latest project is/was a modified version of Prof. Senft's "thimble power plant" (pics to follow), which will eventually power a 1/87 (approx.) model of a steam donkey.
I very much enjoy this group.
Warm regards from Germany,
Fred
