Greetings from Singapore!

Hello all,

I was reading the post on topics that interest me as a guest for the past weeks and finally get to the registration part (tried previously but received a message that registration was closed).  I was amazed by the work of those I've seen here and those photos helps me to visualize what went on.

A little about myself.  I work in a bank handling home loans.  No background with any mills or lathes till I bought my Sherline mill and lathe late last year.  With no experience in anything engineering, learning is tough to start with.  The internet helps a great deal with me joining the Sherline, SherlineCNC, and MEWorkshop on Yahoo! groups.  There are many good folks in these groups that helped me a great deal without asking for anything in return. A kind gentleman from Ireland even sent me some books to get me started! I hardly know him then!  Amazing folks!

I'm still new and progress is slow given the little time and availability of tools in Singapore.  Hope to learn from the experienced folks in this forum.

Regards,
Wong

Thanks for the welcome.

I've nothing much to show yet as work has not permitted me to do serious work and I'm still learning eve the very basic.

We live in a 1227 sq ft apartment.  I've converted my study to a "workshop" late last year to house my Sherline mill and lathe. I've also acquired a Proxxon mitre saw (25mm max diameter), a Proxxon bandsaw (thoat of 150mm), and am using wolfcraft's drill stand as my drill press (with a bosch hand drill due to lack of space).  Earlier this year (or was it very late last year???), I converted my lathe to CNC with the sherline's kit.  So far I've not use the lathe on CNC as I prefer the feel of turning the handwheels.  The mill was bought CNC ready, which I supply the motors and electronics.  The mill table was upgraded to 18", column bed to 15", and the base for Y axis to the longer base from A2ZCNC.
