Hello from Auckland...... New Zealand.
« on: October 30, 2011, 03:17:07 AM »
Hi Everybody,
My name is Dave Weir or known as Beagles, I'm a Locksmith Safe Technician and Gunsmith.
I am a Toolaholic this a disease that is internal and is terminal. :(
I have also put myself through Night School and learnt CAD Drawing with Solidworks 2010 I would recommend this to all, it helps when tool building the CAD drawing shows if a tool will function correctly before making the part and gets what is in your head as a design on paper....... It just shows you can teach a "Old Dog" new tricks.
I have been toolmaking for 25 odd years, and enjoy making my own tools, now after 3 Myfords, I have settled on a Emco Super 11, Emco FB2 Milling Machine, and Unimat 3.
I have a full restoration on Surface Grinder at the moment, converting it to Single Phase as well and hope to have this completed over the Summer Holidays.
This is a great site a I look forward to giving my input if possible, but I have spent the last week just trawling through the posts on the site of tools that members have made, these alone will keep me busy for sometime.
Kindest Regards
Beagles.

Hi There Dave :wave: Welcome to madmodders, sounds like you will fit right in here.

If I could just give a tiny suggestion, it might be a better idea to remove your email address from your sig' as spambots can trawl forums and you could then be deluged by a flood of unwanted emails. The members can still email you via the little email icon below your username :thumbup:

Hi Dave! Welcome to the Collective.  :borg:

Frankly, there are too many Dave(id)s on here already...... Beagles will do nicely!   :thumbup:

With your pedigree, I'm sure you will fit in nicely. Looking forward to reading your contributions, with pics.  :D

Enjoy!
