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.

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.

incase no one lets you know, WE LIKE PICTURES
