To help me gauge my progress as a model engineer (in my first full year), I set myself several objectives. Since the year end is approaching very fast I need think about 2009 and also what I have achieved in 2008. For some reason the 2008 objectives have remained on one of my whiteboards in the workshop and have not been published here. So both the objectives and results for 2008 are set out below.

The 2009 objectives are laid out on their own page.

The key for objectives:

f = Fowler
ic = internal combustion engine
t = tools
m = miscellaneous or unplanned projects
