Hello From Istanbul - Turkey

[esteam]

Hello everyone.

I'm a beginner steam engine and metal working hobbyist from Turkey. But I have many hobbies for years such as rc model cars, static models and real motorcycles.

I visit this forum for a few weeks as a guest. I think this forum is the gratest place in the internet for me.

I have a mini lathe with drill named Atinon. I built an oscillating steam engine as my first job. And now just doing my second job: a single cylinder engine

I am very glad to meet you all.

Thank you.

Pleased to meet you too esteam!

As a 'lurker' up to now you will probably already know the various personalities and skills of the members who post regularly. I look forward to reading any submissions you may make and any general discussion.

It's nice to see new members from a continuing diversity of locations

Thank you guys.

I wanna show you my first engine. I know it's simple. But runs so good. I'm gonna build more complex engines in the near future.

Lathe working is my meditation. It's my addiction. I don't know how I can explain this.

By the way, my name is Erdem. 36 years old.

Thanx

Erdem

Hey Erdem... I am 36 as well. I think we are smack in the middle of the a wide range of age group here.

Lathe working is my meditation. It's my addiction. I don't know how I can explain this.

I don't think you need to explain this Most of us here understand that all too well.

And the HMEM world domination continues...

Hi Erdem
Welcome from another newbie, Johns engine that you have downloaded is fantastic i will get round to building one soon, I am sure you will find that John himself will be very encouraging if you do decide to build one, also all the members here are open to questions 'no matter how simple or complex' the answer will be found. they are a very friendly crowd here and have made me feel very welcome.
All the best
Malcolm
