New to modding
« on: September 05, 2011, 05:52:32 PM »
Hi,
I am new to machining and am looking forward to getting a metal lathe next month.  Given my finances and space I have decided on a Busy Bee 7 x 8 lathe.  I have been involved in woodworking and stained glass as hobbies for a while now.  since I retired a couple or 3 years ago I decided to scratch my machining itch.  I may lurk for the next month until I get the lathe and basic tooling then I expect I will have all sorts of questions.

Hiya Reg01  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

No reason to lurk. The stained glass stuff sounds pretty interesting. Care to share some with us? I know I would like to see.

What direction do you want to take your metal working in? What are you into?
