Welcome in sunny Devon. You will get to spend more time in the shed than on the beach this weekend There have been a few people coming onto the forum from north Devon in the last 18 months.If you find the front page of the website and use the search you may find some posts from them but like you do not necessarily mention theri location initially. Also search for 'dad's engine' and 'first engine' and you will see some examples of easy build projects. The best place to go shopping BTW is Friday mornings in Exeter Morrissons because next door is St Katherine's Priory where members of the local Model Engineering club can be found having coffee now the cafe is back open.
