Well Hi Y'all.
I'm a "wanna be real bad" kinda guy. I've been a HMEM member for a few months and have seen so many references to this site I figured that I would lurk awhile. I recognized a bunch of the names here and also recognized that there were other diverse projects and views on things so I signed up. I'm retired and have been a woodworker for 30 years and am now fulfilling a life-long desire to make models of engines. Specifically, I am fascinated with the engines of Elmer and Rudy, so that is probably where I'll start after trying a basic oscillator like the EZ or the LMS kit.
I'm saving my "allowance" from my working wife and hope to get a lathe in June. (I hope I hope I hope) I'm leaning towards the PM1127-VF for the moment.
Looking forward to the learning curve and making some swarf sooner than later.
