I'm Norman, I'm in Texas, USA. Some of you may have seen my reverse tumbler gear set up for the G0602 lathe and the sped reducer I designed and built. I purchased a G0619 mill last month and now getting it set up to use. I built a stand for it , lights, soon will install a Dro Pors electrica el400 digital read out once it gets here. I've built some of the Gingery tools a shaper, mill and dividing head. Doing that the machining bug chewed off one of my ears,errr really I just got the machining bug. My Dad used to want tools but couldn't afford them so he'd build them, I guess I got that from him. I've build an airplane it's a KR2 small two place fast home built airplane powered by a vw. This little plane as allowed me to fly all over the US even out over the Atlantic ocean once, just to say I did it. My Uncle is a retired tool and die maker Ol Unk could make anything, I always admired him for that. So that also inspired me to give machining a try. I'm retired now so I have all day and most of the night to mess around. One thing that really is a hoot is having a home built foundry powered by waste oil. I use this foundry often to cast rough parts for projects. Well that's enough BSing thanks for having me here. dividing head my airplane and me when I was younger my shaper the mill you can see both the mill and lathe, I have the gingery mill sleeping under the new mill Norman |
