Hello to the group. I'm new here so this is my story:
I'm older than most of you but less experienced. I've been messing around in the shop fora few years, making mistakes and learning. Making parts and scrap. I have built a few steam (air) engines, all of my own design. Making engines is lots of fun but I mainly enjoy the design and engineering part of it.
I seem to be stuck in a pattern. Most of the engines that I have built belong to the axial engine category, bent-axis, wobble plate, swash plate, Z-shaft. At the moment, I am nearing completion of a two cylinder double acting design with a Z-shaft. Since it's almost finished, there won't be any progress posts but I'll put up a video when it's done.
