| Bryan:
I already 'outed' myself in the tools forum, so I guess I should do it properly. I'm Bryan from South Australia. I'm in my 40s and kind of between careers. I live in a quiet country town and I'm lucky enough to have a big shed with 3 phase power. My lathe is the poor Chinese cousin to the Taiwanese Lantaine family, including Trion's Slager and Toolman's Honden, among others. It's nominally a 10 x 24 inch, 1hp machine. It was neglected, abused and crashed before I got it, so has ongoing issues. But it's got me back into machining and I'm loving it. I recently bought a TOS shaper which is in bits for repairs and paint. I'm looking forward to getting that running, especially since I don't have a mill. Among other things I want to use the shaper to make gears for my lathe. That's probably more than enough info for now. There seems to be a steady stream of new arrivals, so I guess I'm just one more. You guys who keep reading all these boring intros and replying so nicely must be saints or something! |

Welcome to the forum. As Kenneth said. That would be a great video or even a documentation log. ironman (Ray) |

Hiya Bryan :wave: Welcome to the collective :borg: How about a restore log on your shaper? That would be pretty cool. Quite a few of us are shaper fans. Eric |
