Greetings from Singapore!

Hi Eric,

Thanks!  My so called shop is no longer neat.

I picked up this as a hobby to keep myself from going insane.  I want to learn to make my own tools, little projects for my wife and kids (so that I won't get locked out of my bedroom...), maybe an engine or 2 to show off to my friends and colleagues.  Most friends and colleagues think that I'm crazy to pick machining as a hobby.

Hope to get the brass torches done before my 2 weeks' leave from office is over.  Heading back to "war zone" next Monday  :(  Still taking a step at a time.

Wong

Good to "see" you here. Saw some of your posts.

No, I didn't finish. Went with Sherline's mill & lathe and decided to learn more on machining first. How are things going at your end?

Going well.
I realised most of what I wanted to do would better suit a milling machine, so I've "shelved" my router plans for now.

What did you get for your mill?
Wood is too messy for me to deal with and my lack of knowledge prevented me from moving forward with the router.

I got a Warco Mini Mill.  Basically an X2 type.

Wood machinery also tends to be very noisy.  Less need to worry about disturbing the neighbours, or needing to work in the corridor. ;)
