Thank you so much. That was quite possibly the most helpful post
someone's ever made for me on the internet. I'll definitely do some of
those things once I've got some material. My dad's promissed me some
basic stationary steam engine castings for Christmas, which he'll be
helping me machine out. That should be a lot of fun too. I don't have
a torch at home, but I'm doing Engineering at school for GCSE this
year, and next year for A Level, so I could ask the teachers for a
personal favour. Shouldn't be a problem.
