Hello
I've been lurking and reading for about 2 weeks. I do not have a boat,an engine or boiler. What I do have is a love of steam.
My biggest interest are steam whistles and sirens, both building and collecting.
I am a self tought machinist,welder and some formal training as an auto mechanic. I have been employed for the last 19 years at a saw sharpening shop where I do machine work and silver soldering of the carbide teeth into the saw bodies.
In the future I would like to build a double simple or a compound from castngs. For the boat itself I am realy liking the Edwardian 26 from Selway-Fisher. For a boiler I like ones with a lower profile Like a side feed locomotive or a dryback scotch.
I also posted in the for sale section with a photo of the sirens I build. I also build whistles.
