Hello --- New member alert
« on: October 12, 2009, 06:15:16 PM »
Hello friends..

As I've just registered I suppose this is a good time to introduce myself.

My name is Rob and I'm a 42 year old self employed electronics designer/engineer. I'm based near the end of the A180 in the UK near Grimsby off the M180 gateway to nowhere.

I started my working career with Ciba Geigy as an apprentice fitter/turner.
I've always enjoyed electronics more so I retrained ,started off repairing welding sets and then went on my own..and i have never looked back...My current lines are designing industrial control systems ,agricultural HVAC and feeding systems and repairing pcbs and inverters for a local company.

I've used my equipment for the last 20 years to help my electronics related projects where needed.
I'm proficient using my equipment but certainly not an expert and I have never built complex items.
I currently own a couple of lathes,universal mill,and a garage full of related equipment.
I own an Emco maximat V13 , a Harrison L5 and a Gate pheobus milling machine.

I'm joining this and some other forums to learn and to converse with the like minded...so that by the time I'm retired I will be able to construct the mandatory steam engine :)


cheers Rob.

Hi Bob

Welcome to MadModder. It sounds like you have all the tools you need to make a good start on the steam engine of your choice. If you have any questions you will always find someone hear willing to answer or at least give their opinion. You will probably be infected with  :proj: and the only known cure is  :worthless: of the infection.
Glad to have you aboard Bob. :D :D

Cheers  :beer:

Welcome from one newbie to another.
