Hi everyone.
              I am Mick. I served my time in the apprentice school at the Ford Motor Co in Dagenham.I am now retired and thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. I now have a little workshop with a small lathe and small milling machine.
 These are giving me great pleasure and make me use some of the small skills  I learnt 50 years ago.I am a bit rusty but like riding a bike a lot of it is coming back to me.  Stew (SBWHART) told me about this site and I must say it looks very good! As well as picking up a few ideas maybe  I will be able to contribute myself. I recognise a few names from the Chester forum. I  recently made  power drives for my vertical slide and horizontal table feeds on my milling machine. I did this using two car windscreen wiper motors and the PSU out of my old computer. They both work a treat and I am  pleased with the results.
