Been a lurker here for a few years, but I guess it's time to make a post, or two..
Set up a workshop a few tears ago, and has so far mostly been involved in toolmaking with the objectives to learn and make a usefull addition to the tooling collection at the same time.
I have in later years learnt that my grandfather (passed away when I was quite young) was some sort of toolmaker at vattenfalls workshop in Västerås, I still have a (very) small set of Johansson blocks from him and a few other bits and pieces.
Most machining is done on a early myford big bore (a rare machine in sweden) and an old mattson & zetterlund vertical mill.
Have so far made many, many tools of George Thomas designs (them books have a lot of dog ears and coffe stains now).
Allso made a quorn, not completely finished yet, spiraling head to do... (Never got round to it)
And a miniature gas turbine (Gerald Rutten design, it's a really sweet running beast)
