Davyboy:
Hello. My name is Davyboy.  I have signed on with HMEM and MEM boards, so I recognize some of your members that post over here.  It's been a long time since I've had anything worthy to contribute, so I mostly lurk in the background.  Please allow me  to lurk here as well.  I have been a machinist for many years, now working on bigger stuff, up to 10,000 lbs.  My home shop has 7x10 and 9x20 lathes, and a mill/drill machine.  Most of my model toys are simple and easy, fun short term projects.   I'm hoping to get some finger engines together for gifts this holiday season.  I had a display at the local tractor and steam show recently.  Here's a photo.  Thank you to all who post on here, I sure enjoy watching, even if I don't chime in.

John Rudd:
A warm welcome from me too Davy,
I also have a 7x12 minilathe although mine as the longer bed, its a Sieg machine. I also have a 9x20 and for the bigger jobs, an 11x30 equivalent.

Most of the work my machines have done is making parts or tool addons but I've completed a single cylinder steam engine which now adorns one of the shop shelves....

Davyboy:
Thanks Gents, I built most of them myself.  Purchased  Mamod, Wilesco and PMR Peanut.  A few photos of my toys.  Wobblers and finger toys, my own designs, inspired by the talents of craftsmen like you.   And yes, I spend some time making tools and plans for new projects, I have quite a long to-do list!
