Hi All,
Buddy of mine at work approached me to see if I could help him complete a P.M. Research No. 6 Steam Engine kit that he bought 10 years ago. He used to work as a high school shop teacher and had access to machine tools, however not long after he bought the kit, he was laid off. He had only done a couple of the parts and had probably 95% of the work left to do. Now I get to have all the fun machining the parts, and he gets to keep the finished steam engine. I've been looking for a project so this will be perfect.

I wanted to start this post to document my progress and ask questions when I get stuck.
