Hello Everyone

My name is Andy, I am a 42 year old Brit and I am married to an American, I spent over a decade in the Royal Engineers, I owned two computer shops, and worked for a local Fabrication/Engineering company making machinery for the food industry, but due to ill health I am currently unemployed, and have been putting my spare time into my workshop where I have been modifying my combi (clarke clm 500 Mill/Lathe) making tools and model engines, and trying to get my youngest 8yo son interested in this hobby. My 'workshop' was the pervious occupants 'girls' bedroom complete with pink rose wall paper, pink carpet, and pink Barbie curtains, as I am using this this room for my workshop I am not going to waste project monies on decorating, I have re-enforced the floor to help support the weight [and hide the pink carpet ;) ]
I found this site via HMEM where I am a recient newbie also, seeing so many familiar names here from HMEM it looks like this is a 'sister' site

Regards
Andy

PS: ???? where the hell is the spell checker (my spelling sucks) ????

Andy,

Forget about spelling checkers, as long as we roughly understand what you are on about, that's all that is needed. We don't stand on ceremony here, you get what you are given.

I went thru the same ritual as yourself, back bedroom and steel plates to reinforce the floor. We all have to start somewhere, and build on it.

This is a sort of sister site to HMEM, but on here we deal with projects rather than model engines. Almost anything that takes your fancy, and it is legal, you can post here and get either comments on your work so far, or help and discussion if needed.

All we ask is that you retain a good sense of humour and show plenty of pics. That's why you don't need a spell checker.

Most of the erks on here can't read, and come here for the pretty pics.
