Bernd:
Welcome Ray,

Always nice to have a new memeber added to the collective. :borg:

With all that equipment I'm sure you've got to have some projects underway or at least in mind. Many of use here have :proj: and can't even finish one project before begining the next one.

So pull up a chair and join in the fun because :mmr: and :offtopic:'s are ok at the Watercooler. :headbang:

Regards,
Bernd

Gerhard Olivier:

Hi Ray,

Another from Wales, well that makes you No2 as far as I know.....welcome and hope you have fun in your shed. :wave:

Tall shed...!!

Raggle:
Coo, 7 replies already. And there was me thinking, "they'll all be asleep, or in their sheds/shops"

A current project is a variation of Mklotz's Dremel mount

http://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/index.php?topic=414.0

but mine ain't a real Dremel and the more I think about it, the more I revise it. Only cure for that is to build it. I only considered it in the first place because I have some nice 1/2" square stainless(?) bar that I saved from a litho printing m/c I scrapped. The "good reason" is same as Marv's, for creating tooling from 1/8" sq HSS. This small size is quite appropriate to my machines, the biggest being the Taig. IF it ever gets finished I'll do a show and tell (with piccies)

Bogs, Diolch yn fawr for the Croeso - there it ends, I'm a transported Black Country man. Among the ex-printing machine junk I have the hand lever of a prehistoric guillotine and have detected the possible presence of 2 or 3 Paddleducks cylinder blocks hiding in there. Wonderfully seasoned cast iron with NO hard spots or blowholes in the short end from which I made an endmill holder.

My main interest is IC engines with compression ignition high on the list.

Darren. I suppose Ralph is No1. Who is No6? I am not a number, I am a free man ...

Ray,

You lost me after the 'Bogs'.

I could just imagine you speaking Welsh with a broad black country accent. I spent my last ten working years at Telford, amongst the displaced from Wolverhampton and the local area. I hardly understood a word they said.

You can't go wrong with Marv's little bits of tooling, and like me, he only makes tooling if he has a need for it, but what he does design and make, work well.

I don't live too far up the M6 from the 'Black Country' at Crewe.
