hello from oregon

[pacman101]

hi my name is tyler and I don't really own a shop. but my great-grandfather does and he lets me use it.
it has a big old lathe a drill press several types of grinder like machines plus one of those gravity driven bandsaw machines. he also has a good many tools and nuts and bolts but not much in the way of metal stock

I like engines of all kinds and very much would like to build one (or a few)
I don't have a lot of experience working metal but I know how to use the tools.

a thanks in advance to anyone willing to give advice or just say hello.
