Hi from Calgary
I'm a retired former metal worker(welding, machining etc) where my only experience in casting was babbitt bearings. I'm looking forward to incorporating machine part casting in my construction of a watchmakers lathe and a rose engine.
Re: Hi from Calgary
Glad to have you here John. Do you have any pictures of the Rose engine and lathe. I have a small lathe but not that small.
Wow, I just Binged the Rose engine Lathe, that looks amazing. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=ros ... ORM=IQFRBA

Re: Hi from Calgary
you definitely picked a wild project in the Rose Engine, the watchmakers lathe would be challenge enough for most, are you going to copy and original of go for it and make one from scratch.
