Hello there, I'm new here ,I'm English but I live here in Italy.I trained as a harpsichord maker ,but I also have made guitars ,lots of furniture etc. I've always been interested in engines as my father was a toolmaker (still with us!) and restored old cars ,also my great grandfather was Mr. Brown of Brown and May steam engines of Devises ,they made stationary engines and traction engines. I don't know if they ever made any boat engines ,but maybe somebody out there may know?.I know that a couple of there engines are in museums in Oz and NZ and some are also in the UK. Anyway,I don't have a lot of free time at the mo, but I recently bought a small lathe and a little mill and got to work on a Stuart 10h kit ,that came out quite well ,so I decided to have a go with the plans for the Liney machine rv2. It turned out to be quite a challenge because its tiny!, also they are only drawings, no instructions(which is good! I've learnt a great deal!).Here's a photo of most of the bits ,I just have to drill and tap a few holes and put it all together! .when it's done I'll put up another pic.....Giles
