The Hobby Shop

I have to consider myself pretty lucky, my occupation and my hobbies are directly linked.
While I don't have time for  much hobby work, projects continue to accumulate...

Engines.....

A charter subscriber to Strictly IC, I have long had a facination with intricate engines, more so
with the miniature variety. Steam engines also facinate me, but I really prefer things that make noise.

Though no longer in publication, Strictly IC does have a web site and back issues can still be ordered.
There's a new magazine that has picked up where SIC left off, Model Engine Builder. Published by
Mike Rhemus of BAEM fame, 

I like to take on difficult and challenging projects, and this link shows a couple very unusual radial engines
I hope to model some day.  RADIAL CAM ENGINES

Links to some great Model Engineering, and miniature engine sites:

Australian Model Engineering
North American Model Engineering (NAMES)

A home built turbine engine (and yet another project to get to someday...)

I'm missing some back issues of Home Shop Machinist, have any extra copies of these
issues you want to sell/swap?
