About Me...
I started model engineering and building model stationary steam engines in 2015, after constructing a small engineering workshop in my back yard, I use a Myford ML7 hobby lathe, a Dore Westbury milling machine, along with a pillar drill, band-saw and the usual hand-tools associated with hobby engineering and enjoy making model engines and general tool-making and metalworking. Nearly all of my engines are scratch-built without drawings, from available bar-stock, starting from an initial idea and allowing the design to evolve throughout the build process. I do occasionally use drawings from the web, as a basis for a design, and then modify it to suit my needs, using mostly metric dimensions, but often mix metric and imperial. I spend countless hours in my workshop working on a single engine, and much frustration can be involved, but all this is eventually offset by the pleasure and excitement of seeing my model engines take shape and eventually come to life. My shed is also my sanctuary, somewhere I can go and forget about the worries of everyday life, to occupy my mind and hands with something creative and fulfilling, where I am free from distraction and interruption.

    Thanks Paul, I built many things on my lathe before I bought the mill, a lathe is a very capable machine, the mill just makes mounting stuff easier. Regards Ade

    Thanks Ade. I’m watching all of your engine builds again as I’m planning to start building a engine soon. Just need to sort my lathe out first. You have such a calm easy way to explain the build. Love it.

    Hi John Brace, KZread place the ads, but I do have some control, and have just just removed the mid-roll adverts, as I fully appreciate how annoying they are, so I do appologise, I do get a tiny income from the ads which help me to fund buying metal stock for my projects, so it is a bit of a love/hate relationship with advertising from my point of view, the income is welcome but I dont want to piss-off my viewers at the same time, so I do appologise, unfortunately, as with everywhere these days adverts are unavoidable, I record live TV so I can skip the ads when I re-watch, and for KZread you can use an Ad-Blocker, so there are ways of avoiding ads, but this also prevents creators from gaining any income from their work. There is always two sides of a coin, but the big corporations always land heads-up. Kindest Regards. Ade

    @@AdeSwash Sadly consumers of KZread content forget that without adverts KZread would not exist. It’s not a charity and nor should the creators not be rewarded for their efforts. It’s a difficult call. As viewers I would hate if all creators only provided content only for their patrons. I can’t afford to be a patron of one site let alone multiple sites. Having to watch a few adverts (as annoying as they are) is a small price to pay for creative content produced by people such as yourself. Thank you for doing so and I hope the small income you derive from KZread allows you to fund the material costs you incur.
