Hello from Kansas
« on: September 08, 2009, 11:57:01 AM »
Hi all!  I'm pretty much interested in anything mechanical.  I've started several steam and IC models, I'm restoring a 1 1/2hp Fuller & Johnson pump engine, and I'm trying desperately to talk myself out of starting a Locost http://www.locostusa.com/!  ::)  Current project is rebuilding garage/shop for climate control, and maybe some organization. :bugeye:

Thanks
Jeff

P.S. Not to worry, I already have  :proj:

If need be the group will give you a couple of  :poke:  :poke: and if you don't your going to get a few of these.  :wack: :hammer: :wack: :hammer:
