Very nice, indeed, Gil. I particularly like the Huxhold engine.

Thanks, Carl. Perhaps one day you and your wife can make it to this show.
It would be great to see you there!


If things go well, we'll see you at NAMES.

Thanks, Bob. It was built in Ontario by an incredibly skilled and dedicated engineer/toolmaker.

You got that right. Thank you. I spoke with Bill by phone on Friday. While he doesn't go beyond the Toronto area anymore, it was great to hear his voice. We had a real nice conversation and he sends his greetings to all. I am blessed to know the man and to be the custodian of some of his precision works of art.

Very nice pieces Gil, are beam engines the featured engine at Cabin Fever this year? That Bill Huxhold beam was great to see in person  8)

They are the Forum’s featured engine. Between Gil, Brent and me we will have 20+ Beam Engines on display. Here are the ones I am bringing:
