I created an account here about 2 months ago after watching one of Divided Head's youtube videos of his steam engine, but I got distracted with all sorts of stuff and havn't posted much and gotten my feet wet.
I'm a Jr. in college, majoring in industrial engineering, and im into just about anything you'd find in a garage or shop... woodworking, motorcycles, power tools in general, welding, etc.
I recently got permission from the university to use the student machine shop at my leisure... access to a lathe, milling machine, mig, tig, plasma cutter, oxy/acet, drill press, grinders, band saw, etc, 24 hrs a day 7 days a week. The work I do in there doesn't have to be school related, so I'm exploring different project options.
The thing I've been wanting to do for a while now, as I referenced above, is a model steam engine, so you may see my posts with questions in the other forums. Of course, any input is much appreciated

Looking forward to utilizing the knowledge bank that you guys offer here
