Hi From the west midlands
« on: May 16, 2010, 06:37:29 PM »
Hi all I'm Phil (guess the username gave it away tho)
Great forum i joined a couple of weeks ago so figured it's time i introduced myself
I am a timeserved contract toolmaker (25yrs) and have a Toolmaking/Engineering company with my friend, the majority of the work we do is for the automotive industry.
For me Engineering is more a way of life than hobby, i have always been fascinated with engineering, the way things are manufactured etc.
I have hopefully attached a few pictures and if i can work out to how to insert them i'll get some more up.

Hi Phil  :wave:


Welcome to the collective  :borg:



Looks like your into some serious stuff!

What kind of stuff do you make for "fun"?   


I like the jig. It reminds me of when my old boss (from a long time ago that is) hired a tool maker to build a jig for a CNC machine.... I was constantly getting told to get back to work and stop watching the jig being made and asking questions  :lol:



Where are you from in the West Midlands? Originally Coventry myself  :thumbup:



The pictures bit...  This might help?   http://madmodder.net/index.php?topic=607.0 





Have fun and don't be afraid to share lots of trade secrets  :smart:    :)

Hi Phil

Welcome to MadModder. Judging by the pictures posted you know you way around a machine shop. If you have any questions, I'm sure someone on here will be glad to answer or at least give an opinion. I am sure that once we see more of what you make that some of the members may have a question or two for you. Enjoy.   :D :)

Cheers  :beer:
