The Home Machinist!

I was over on the Market place board and posted there about Roger.
I had good results from Roger and first rate product. Did you send him final payment or are you still making payment? It was unclear to me from your post.

I ordered cylinder casting with all the stuffins, and 10" spoked drive wheels from Roger Back in Dec 2012. I believe it only took 2 weeks. We had several phone calls. He usually got back to me same day. The castings in my humble opnion are first rate. Steam passages are cored in, just like on t...

Dave Glad to see you back and look forward to this test and more videos! Both safeties are the same lift off pressure?

Howdy I'm new here looking for some help. What should firebox water spacing be on 1 1/2 scale boiler? I'm looking for information on boilers that folks have used over the years.

Its been a few years since I ordered tubes, flue material and superheater material, so I'm a bit rusty. A link was given in this thread which died who knows ...

Dear Harold Hope this is not seen as nit picking. This is one subject I would like to gain a whole lot more knowledge on. After reading the post I tried the link on the degassing, its been changed so I though I'd post it in case other had problems finding the new link. http://budgetcastingsupply.com...

Dear Harold First off I've not been a member very long, so I try to keep posts to a minimum. I like the cartoon someone posted, with the guy late at night pounding away on the key board, trying to "fix" something on the internet. This is the best BB I've ever been to, bar none. Harold you ...

I would like to add myself to the Dave Sclavi fan club. I do search you tube for each video. I've learned much from watching Dave's videos and reading his posts here. Some how I missed this post till today. Dave helped me make up my mind to quit my job and retire. I've purchased a CNC Mill to go wit...
