Hi From Austria

(1/2) > >>

Corvus corax:
So I found this Forum via the HMEM Forum, it looks excellent!

I'm an ex-armourer, precision mechanics and industrial electronics technician who likes, to quote my wife, "fiddling with bizarre gadgets".

In the last few years most of my stuff has been firearm related but now that I have my own shop set up in the basement (Euro Equivalent of a 9x20 Lathe and X2 Mini mill clone) I hope to make some models aside from doing hobby gunsmithing stuff on my own firearms.

At the minute all I seem to be making is tools for the tools ;-) Carriage stops, Donut compounds, DTI holders, roller bearing steady rests etc.

Gerhard Olivier:
Hi Raven and welcome - like the login name

I have same lathe and have done some of the named mods.

 :worthless:

Gerhard

Corvus corax:
Gerhard
Thanks for the welcome. Or should I be saying Baie Dankie? ;-)
I'm taking a stab in the dark here, but someone with a name like Gerhard, who lives in the UK, is quite possibly a fellow ex-South African?

My 9x20 Lathe is the horrible green one from RC machines in Luxembourg. I think a similar one is marketed in the UK by Warco.
The X2 mini mill is the Einhell version. It is soon to get a belt drive if I have my way.
I'm sick of babying the thing so as to avoid breaking a gear.

Brass_Machine:
Hi!  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

Hehe tools to make tools to make the parts... and the cycle goes round.

Corvus Corax... Raven... Do you like the band with the same name?

Eric

Corvus corax:
He he :headbang: Not many people know the Corvus Corax band but yes I do like some of their stuff.
In reality though, the name comes from an affinity for Corvids, that I have had my whole life long.
