Every couple of milliseconds you have to step back and make sure it looks right.

Good that you found a place, next need to build a workbench and get some steam time in!!! A cheap bench can be made from a door and some cement blocks! |
that would do, but I hope to get some old workbench, like this one:
Would be even better if I can get one mode all out of wood. It will probably be around the end of may that I can get started again, the shed is now quite filled with boxes and stuff that I need to get to the
landfill

As soon as I get a workbench in my shed I'll continue. I wanted to buy one this week, but there are no good ones around now on the dutch auction site. Now I'll have to wait 2 weeks, because my parents are on holliday, and I need their car to get one

IF you can find a used door, they do make quite sturdy Workbenches, maybe someone is renovating in your area and one can be picked up for a pittance.

Thanks les, nex plan is to add some cards with names on them to it and maybe some "before" and "after" pics with the restored engines.
I will have to extend my display by the way, there are already two engines that didn't fit in it anymore

that would work, but if I then get a proper workbench, I will have to get rid off that door again . I think I'll just be patient, I still have a lot other things to do too (like buiding ikea furniture )
