I have been machining for about 5 or 6 years.Retired carpenter with a wood shop that I mostly use mostly for machining now. I have built a locomotive that runs on air.Pennsylvania A-3 Switcher that was supposed to be a steam locomotive. I did a poor job of hard soldering the boiler and decided after many hours of working on the boiler to only run it on air.I have also made several of Elmer Verduz's engines. I have made a number of wood working tools over the years.These include a panel saw,wood lathe, 1 x 42 belt sander,disk sander and a drum sander.

Hi mike - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you've been busy! Post some pics if you have 'em; I'm sure folks would like to take a look. Here's a quick photo posting tutorial:

Sorry I haven't posted earlier,been busy.I took a video of the locomotive today. I set it up on a couple of scrap blocks on the deck.
I'll attempt to upload it,you tube I guess. Bear with me,never did this before.I'll also take pictures of the locomotive,I put it back on a shelf with several other items of interest.
