I'm a 32 year old from Sweden, just starting out with these machinery stuff. I have been renovating and building American Cars for a while and wanted to step it up a bit and go into small fabrication of parts for my rebuilds. This includes learning to use a mill and a lathe - where the large obstacle in the learning curve is parked at for the moment.
If interested in what i do, you could follow my blog

My shop contains some basics and some none basic tooling, including plasma cutters, tig/stick welder, mig welder, acetylen welder, lathe, small mini mill, grinders and such. I do most things from the ground up working out of basic materials as thicker sheet metal or stock materials. More or less from what i can scrounge up, collect and find. One of this summers goals is to be able to melt aluminium and maybe cast iron from my piles of scrap material collected.
I have som interest in making airguns as well and there will the lathe come in handy i guess.
In my "working" hours i work as a php/mysql programmer at a large media company in Sweden (Schibstedt Tillväxtmedier) where i make backend tools for support services, managment and advertising tools... I guess thats it.
Yeah, i'm called "neo" by friends, due to my longterm online Alias, "NeoTech".. but i'm really named, Andreas..
