Getting back into the hobby. My old forum I used to visit doesn't see that much action. I see a fair bit of activity here so I registered. Have have a 7x10 mini lathe and a Sieg x2 mill.

Welcome, glad to have you here.
We have a lot of talent and depth in the membership here, and I always learn a lot from everything that gets posts.

I am stuck on the back burner so to speak with what I want to build, due to an overload of work projects that all seem to be due this year.
I am anxiously awaiting getting back on the Ball Hopper Monitor build, and have the 3D printed pattern halves sitting next to me desk, many ready to go out to the foundry (in the back yard).

It seems like COVID and such has slowed this and many other hobbys down quite a bit, but there is a dyed-in-the-wool bunch of builders here who have big plans for the future.

Do you have a type of engine that is your primary interest ?
I was deep into steam engine models, but want to cast/build a 1/2 scale 4hp Ball Hopper Monitor next.
