Hello all, my names jake and im from irwin PA. I currently have 3 steam engines and before long hopefully will have more- i have a jensen 65, jensen 75, and a PM research mill engine.
i also am into metalcasting which would be valuable for engine crafting if i had any machines i know a few of ynz from youtube but i am very glad to find a community of similar-hobbied people.

Well, i was going to upload some engine photos but i see i dont have any on photobucket yet... i guess ill post some pictures of my blacksmith stuff for anyone interested.
My favorite picture


Here is the knife i just made



Thats all for now, ill post some pics of my engines later... wait theres one more- i used to sell these on ebay, i made about 15 of them


well i hope this does a bit to introduce myself, ill have alot more to say later.

Hi, and welcome from Australia.

I am in the process of building my workshop and one of my long term goals is to be able to cast aluminium and brass but that is a long way off yet.
