Hi All the name is Barry, a resident of Moana South Australia.
Had a little experience in metal machining when I had a business making auto carburettor parts. Took sick about 14 years ago so sold up every thing relocated. Now are starting feel reasonable again so lashed out on new mini lathe and mini mill plus the usual bits to make them useful. 70 years of age so I will be fiddling rather than making supercharged V8's less than 3" long. Probably stick to steam toys to start of with. About to build my version of the Renown steam roller of the 1950's. No doubt I will ask the odd stupid question .
