Hello, Tom from Northampton.
I've been into motorbike restoration for several years, that made way for a couple of classic cars which I've fully restored and now i've run out of space for 'big' projects.
I've had my Myford Ml7 for about 10 years, just picked up a second hand 6x26 mill and hoping to upsize the lathe when and if prices calm down a bit again.
I started out in Engineering, although never really did much machining, but what makes me tick is learning new skills - Tig, Mig, engine build, spraying the cars etc, mostly learning from my many mistakes and fortunately the rise of YouTube.
Signed up here to hopefully carry on with my learning journey.

Definitely, Mig spatter through the finger nail is a great teacher!
