Hi All,

I stumbled onto this forum by accident and after lurking for about a week finally decided to join.

I'm sorry to say that I have got no machining experience and only recently started out with an old Boxford Model CSB lathe so my contribution will be ..... small.

So far my failures have been much more than my successes. I'm struggling a lot and not making much headway but do enjoy the experience.

I hope to learn a lot from everybody on the forum.

Regards.

Hi there Fluxcored  :wave: We're very glad to have you here, everyone, whether new or old will have something to add, even if that is only to ask a question.

We're a friendly bunch on here, the only thing we ask for is pictures as  :worthless: If there's anything you are struggling with, put up a post with some pictures of the problem and I am sure that someone on here will be able to help :thumbup:

Welcome aboard the cube fluxcord  :borg:

A boxford lathe is a real good place to start, don't worry about asking to many ?, we all had to start someware, just join in and enjoy the fun.

Cheers

Stew

PS don't forget  :worthless:

Hi fluxcored, welcome to the forum...

Where in SA are you? I used to live there many years ago in Germiston....

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the kind words.

John, I live in George - you'll be surprised to learn that we are currently suffering from the worst drought in 150 years .. or so they say. Our water supply will run out in the next 30 days!!!

I'll try to get a few snaps of the lathe tonight. She's old but I think fairly accurate. At this stage I believe most errors are the operators fault.

Regards.

Cassidy
