Welcome to Mikes-models model engineering website. Its sole aim is to record the work that I undertake and hopefully other novice engineers can learn from my mistakes, for there are many of them! None of the work I do on this site should be taken as a recommendation of how to do some task or other. I am a new (ish) engineer myself and am learning all the time. I also have a blog (funny term for a diary!) and if you have any comments to make either email me via the box on the left above. The blog can be viewed either via the links page or the address is www.mikes-models.com/blog its as simple as that. I am happy to show others work on these pages and if you have a project underway that may be of use to others then please let me know.
It never ceases to surprise me on how many visitors I have. Most are returning and in the 2 years since I set up the site just under 20,000 visitors have viewed just under 100,000 pages! Not to bad for a home model engineering site so thank you all. I have also made many friends though this website and look to making contact with more in 2010 our 3rd year.
Finally I decided to change each year the style of the web pages. If you come across other styles you will know that the work was not carried out this year (2010). Once again welcome. Mike

Stop Press: My Warco Bandsaw is for sale since I have bought the Clarke. Go to the Bandsaw review page for more information
Also more work has been done on the Seal flywheels.
There are now cutting charts for 4 different camshafts. I have put them on there own page so go to the menu above. I have also moved forward two steps with the Seal flywheels and back three, having to scrap one! I am carrying the machining through though to see what other errors I can make!
The two flywheels for the Seal are the next items to be tackled. A mandrel was made so the flywheels would not 'wobble' when running. Go to the Seal page for more information.
