Hello from RSA

[Marine Man]

Hello Everyone,
First off a big "well done" for a really great site. I have been lurking in the backround for a while rather stunned by the fine quality of the work I see on this site. Anyway I finally plucked up the courage to add my five cents worth.
I'm an ex-marine engineer, current farmer and mountain guide based in sunny South Africa.
Last completed project was an oscillating steam engine and boiler for junior and am presently working on a Stuart Double ten kit from castings. Most of the machining on this is finished and its just mostly fitting left. Future planned project is possibly a Beam engine - but time and enthusiasm will tell.
Thanks once again for a really great site.

Paul

Hi and welcome to HMEM and thank you for the "well done". Since you have been lurking for a while you pretty much know the routine. When you get a chance please pull out the camera and show us what you are working on. I am sure the other members would love to see it as well. If you have any questions just ask, as there is always someone around to answer or at least give an opinion. We look forward to your participation in the various forums.

Cheers

Don
