Hello from Colorado
« on: January 29, 2012, 11:25:31 AM »
I have been surfing this forum and find it interesting and informative.  My interest in engines goes back to childhood and now find time to exercise my passion.  My tools and equipment are limited and so is my skill and experience, but I've built several steam and solenoid models and now want to progress to and build an IC engine.  With all the help I can get, maybe that first pop is in the near future.  Ralph

Look forward to seeing your project logs.... One of these days I'm going to find the patience to build an IC engine and a stirling too  :dremel:
