Welcome Tony.

You seem to be a man after my own heart. I too have a love for old Atlas lathes, and restored my own 10F from a box of broken and bent bits.

I was accused of having a fetish, all because I love the 'curves' on old machinery, they are there just to be stroked and appreciated. Sadly I 'lost' mine to a new owner last year, but not before I had done loads of mods on it to bring it right up to date and cure a few known 'problems', so if you want any pointers in that direction, just ask.

Hi Tony :wave:

Welcome to the nicest most relaxed forum on the interweb :borg: (IMHO) :mmr:

Don't just post questions Tony, how about a few piccy's of your lathes etc?

There is nothing wrong with not making models.... This site is about all sorts (you might have noticed?) some people have the talent for other things as well, this is always a good thing because it helps the rest of us gain an understanding of their way of thinking.

I'm still getting the hang of my machines and their capabilities... I'm getting better I think? Still have the occasional issue..... But then that's what makes it a challenge eh? :thumbup:

Anyway, I'm waffling (this happens a lot! ::) )

Have fun and feel free to join in where you like :)

Ralph.

Hi Tony!

Welcome to the collective :borg:

Sorry I am late, I was on a mini holiday with the family. As Ralph said, worry not about making models... we all have many interests!

Was just reading some old posts and noticed that you haven't been back since your introductory post. :coffee: I checked out your collection of photos of your equipment and shop and you look like you have an amazing place there. From the sounds of it your wife has the horses that she likes and you have your shop which is a nice size. I see that you have poped in to read a few post as late as August. Feel free to join in on any of the threads or start one of your own. If you have any questions we have quite a variety of expertise that always like to do their best to help someone. Look forward to an update on your shop and what you might be building. :D :D :D

Cheers :beer:

Don
