Hello from Sweden

[PeterB]

Hi, my name is Peter and I'm 42 years old. This is my first post on HMEM but I have been here some weeks already.

I bought my mill and lathe for two years ago and have done two small steam engines. My third is on it's way

I'm living in south Sweden in a house and have a little workshop in the cellar. I have built rc airplanes since I was 15. And I also builded a camera cradle so I could take photos from a kite (Kite Aerial Photography). I'm not flying kites anymore but instead i got a license for paramotor so I can still take aerial photos

I have never built models in metal so this is very exciting for me. A very funny hobby with a lot of problems to solve. And a lot of tools to spend my money on

Here are som pictures from my work shop, my machines and my steam engines. The third engine is a Grasshopper.

Welcome to HMEM. Nice little shop you have there!

What is a paramotor?

Eric

A paramotor is an engine that pushes you forward in the air when you use a paraglider. A Paraglider is something like a parachute, but it will fly in a given direction just lake a wing.
Here is a link when I fly my paraglider with the paramotor on my back.

Welcome Peter!
Very nice shop and good looking engine. The Grasshopper was my last engine. Current project is Elmer's #13.
A very excellent reference to the Grasshopper build is ArnoldB's. Take a look.

Thank you, it will be fun to be here and get help from you all. I'm amazed how fine engines you all are able to build

Bye the way, I forgot to tell you that I work as a graphic designer. And I think I can use some of my experience from illustration when I make engines.

Here are some pictures of some paintings I made with an airbrush.

And here are some aerial photos I took when I was flying my paraglider last summer.

This is me in my glider.

And this is my friend.
