Hi from Australia

[Graemep]

Hi I have been a member for about 18 months and thought it was about time to say Hi. I am a Fitter and machinist by trade. The machine shop that I work at makes manly large ring gears and enclosed dive gearboxes . I have been interested in all sorts engines since I was at high school .When I stared my trade I stared to build a traction engine but never finished it as life always got in the road. I finally finished the shed and inhered my father lathe and bought mill and found HMEM. Now the fun begins.

Hi ausdier never did get much of the traction engine built, wheels some castings machined and the side plates .It is a project for the future I have built two Stirling engines and today I finished my first IC engine and I was really surprised when I went to start it and it ran first time.
