Hi every one
« on: June 20, 2010, 06:27:02 PM »
Hi everyone . I`m a ex mechanic that has lost his leggs and in a wheelchair.  Anyways I needed somthing to do so I picked up machining.  Its hard to find something to keep going.  I hope you understand .  No petty ect . OK.  I got in to rc cars and rock crawling trucks also.  Need to keep my hands busy!  All of the groups I looked at, this seems to be the one!  SO let the fun begin!  I have a bedroom that I made in to my shop.  I have a 7x12 mini lathe from toolsnow.  And just bought a x1 of ebay.  Wil be here tuesday.  Cant wait.  I know its not much, but ITS mine  :D  I also got the firts post jitters!  Thanks   Jim Simpson

Jim

Welcome to MadModder Jim. We are glad that you have signed up and made that first big post. It looks like you are taking the right steps to keep your hands busy. I am sure that you will have a few questions as you learn the fine points of your new machines so just ask on here. There is always someone around to answer or at least give an opinion. I look forward to hearing more from you and about you in the future Jim.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:

Gday Jim, welcome and enjoy yourself. Ask any questions you like and feel free to offer your experience about, noone knows more than ALL of us..... all knowledge gratefully accepted...

Have you used a mill before? We'd be interested in your journey getting the thing functioning.

Get your digital camera out cause these guys DEMAND pics of almost everything you do..... :worthless: see what I mean? This things just drops in autpmatically.....

Hiya Jim  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

I gotta say, I like your attitude! You will fit in quite nicely. The X1 can be a decent little machine. There are lots of mods for it.

Feel free to ask away!

Hi Jim,

Welcome to the collective.  :borg:

Sounds like your on your way to keeping those hands busy. I'm into RC boats as a second or third hobby.  :lol: First love is model railroading, both live steam and O scale. Do have more HO than O. I'm also in the process of building an On3 layout.

Questions? Just ask somebody will have an answer.
