Hello from San Francisco!

I am now retired.

Flew American C130 aircraft out of RAF Mildenhall in the early 1970's - many fond memories of Hemel Hempsted tool suppliers and the Model Engineer.   Almost bought a Myford lathe on many occasions.  They were expensive even then!

Engine engineer at Ford Motor Company in Detroit - loved their machine shop.

Computer engineer, senior scientist at NASA Ames, staff scientist at CERN in Geneva (particle accelerator).

Taught physics with calculus in high school just before retiring to give back a little and perhaps get a few engineers started on the journey.

I have owned, repaired and sold a number of lathes, shaper and milling machines.

Crazy about machine tools.  I tell my understanding wife that she is lucky that I don't care about buying clothes or cars.

E.Westbury, George Thomas (and now Bogstandard) are my role models.

Thanks you guys for the wonderful pictures and descriptions and advice.  I remember what it was like to open my latest issue of the Model Engineer - this forum is very much like that experience.

Hiya Dick  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

We finally know a little bit more about you. Sounds like you have an interesting background!  :smart:

Glad you enjoy the forum. What do you like to make on your machines? Or are you just a tool junkie??
