Hi,all.My name is Hans,57 years young,and I live in Christchurch,New Zealand.(Hi,John!)
I 've been a member for a while but failed to introduce my self,so I'll just remedy that
.
I've been involved with models of some sort all my life,starting with Matchbox cars,and progressing from bad to worse.RC cars,airplanes,and now model engineering.
I have a 14x40 Taiwanese lathe,obtained from the estate of a member of the CSMEE,
http://www.csmee.org.nz/index.html,of which I'm a member.A chinese mill-drill(ZAY7045),theusual el-cheapo bandsaw,and a couple of bench grinders.
I'm in the process of building a 5" gauge live steam locomotive,but that's slow going.
I'm always looking to do some sort of tooling project,and I have had the plans for the Matador 60 IC 4stroke engine for at least 10 years!I'm also still flying Rc airplanes.
I've made a start on Bogstandard's piston valve engine.I've already learned some new tricks from this forum,and hope to enjoy it for a long time.regards to all.Hans.(bentprop)
