http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=9413.0
there is lots to download and read.
you can watch modern marvels :Machine tools : on you tube you can watch the mit vidios you can download and read stuff from www.achive.org just type steam engine, lathe , machine tools , model engineering etc in the search block. Man there is so much to learn and life is so short.

Neither am I. The library is a wonderful resource of materials pertaining to machine work etc. And it would be good to get oneself out away from in front of the computer.

Enginedude1: Here is a picture of the engine that Joe was telling you about from Popular Science about 1970.

I built it with a very small drill press, files, a small hacksaw and soldering gun. all the materials came from the Hobby Shop except some 12 gauge metal to make the flywheel.
Good luck--------don
