Hello! I'm only sort of new here, I've been reading posts for a while, decided it was time to join. I'm going to school for ME, NE, and EE and model engineering is one of my many, many, interests. (I have too many hobbies) I've been reading and learning about model engines for years but my first engine is still in progress. Getting set up to make parts has been a long time coming, but I'm finally doing it.

Welcome, glad to have you.
Its a great hobby, and there are many new modern tools that can be used to build model engines.
Jump right in and lets get building.

Hi Gage J,
Welcome to the group. You mention Sunflower State which suggests Kansas. Working on those engineering degrees should keep you busy. Which school?
It takes some time to launch a model engineering hobby. At some point, you reach a critical mass of machines, tooling, knowledge, and away you go. Great hobby.
You mention an engine in progress. What sort of engine are you working toward?
Regards,
Chuck

Yes, I'm in Kansas, going to K-State. 'critical mass' has been exactly my experience and I'm just now about there after years of oft interrupted progress.
I started with a PMR #1 knowing full well I couldn't do the bed or the flywheel on my Craftsman 109. Some of the other parts "fit" but they would be a lot happier on something bigger. Eventually I decided I to get something I could actually finish, and I'm currently working on a PMR #2.
