I lurk the forums quite a bit, and have since I joined. I have always built things for myself that were kind of a mix between old 19th century machinery and 21st century styling and hope to continue to do so in the future and to make some 'working' machines. I have start a blog, please, no groaning, to talk about the issues I am facing in doing so and to combine tips and so forth together.
I would welcome any feedback, but please keep in mind that I have just started the site.
