    These videos really add value. How many hours of fun did the vertical and horizontal machines provide?

    I bought the Vertical kit about 35 years ago and it was about half done over the years. Early March, I found the kit and continued on with it. About then, Ken, WB2TDG, gave me the Horizontal Engine. Shortly after, I bought the Boiler, Pump and Tank kits. I have been working on them, on and off, ever since. I may go out to work on them, and do something else instead. I may finish one part and take a few days to figure out how to make the next part. It may take a day to make a fixture to hold the next part in the machine. With my bad back, a day's work may be 2 hours, 4 hours, depending on my back. I may spend days making a special fixture or tool, knowing it will be useful later. I find it relaxing and enjoyable.

    As they say the relaxation and enjoyment are 'priceless'!
