Hi All

New to the forum but have been reading for a few days, I love in South Wales & have a workshop for my little projects, My profession is IT (many areas) but I also do a lot of electronics engineering, microprocessor programming etc in my spare time so my workshop is kind of mixed.

I have a Taig Mill that I have converted to CNC, a Sieg C3 lathe, Metal cutting bandsaw, pillar drill, welders etc and all the usual stuff to go with it, although I do wish I had a bogger mill/lathe as I find myself quite limited.

I have not long finished making a flood bath that my mill and lathe sit in (it's about 6' x 2') with a drain plug & filters etc so I can use coolant and am only now getting everything set back up.

I work mostly with aluminium & some brass, im quite novice and I make absolutley anything rather than sticking to one type of thing,

I have done quite a few cnc conversions, made parts for fishing boats, RC cars etc

I am looking at getting a larger mill and keeping it manual so that I can learn to use it properly, im getting on quite well with the lathe but have a lot still to learn before I can call myself even vaguely confident. My biggest problem at the moment is being skilled at setting the lathe up and making it as accurate as I can.

Aswell as having silly projects I also like to make things to sell to suplement my income to buy more tools, normally things cnc related such as cnc rotary tables, floating head engravers & measuring aids. But have been out of it for a little while due to the bath constuction and recently getting married. But most of the time I just work on whatever I feel like (working on an autonamous Nitro powered RC car atm)

Once I can find my pics I will upload a few.
