Hello from Nevada

Post by ccdewitt » Mon Oct 14, 2013 7:48 pm

Greetings all:

A thank you to Wesley Harcourt for suggesting I look at this site. There is much good stuff here.

I am building a launch on an Elliott Bay hull. I will use a 1889 Payne Automatic single 4 x 5 converted to Stephenson linkage. I am having a code boiler built. It is going to x-ray this week and heatreat next week. I anticipate dropping it into the water this next summer.

So Wes is still alive? He hasn't been on here for ever. I figured that he had fallen out of a tree or something.

Where in Nevada?

Welcome to the forum Chris!

I look forward to seeing many pictures of your build.
