Hi guys

(1/3) > >>

ja2on:
Just a quick hello  :wave:
I followed bogstandard here from the chester machine tools forum.
I have just bought a chester comet (sieg c4) but as yet it is still covered in red goo
While I wait for my workshop to be delivered.
I am also a complete beginer with anything to do with machining so expect some silly questions

bogstandard:
Welcome to the madhouse Jason.

I am sure that when you get your lathe up and running, all the members on here will try to help you as much as possible.
You are never on your own with the collective behind you  :borg:

Cedge (Steve) has had one of the C4 lathes for a while now, and as far as I know, is over the moon with it.

Have you any idea what you are going to make with it, or are you just going to have it sitting in the front room, just so you can admire it?

Until you do get started, have a good look around, it cost you nothing, and comment on anything that takes your fancy, the US locals gave up eating us Brits a couple of years ago, we were so tough it broke their teeth, so it is fairly safe.

Thanks for the welcome  :thumbup:
As for what I am going to (try and) make all sorts really
A second bearing for my xbox steering wheel
A gear knob for my car which means making a ball turning tool first
maybe some sliders or paddock stand bobbins for my bike
I also have the books the mini lathe, lathework a complete course and milling a complete course
so I would like to make my way through the projects in these as well
That should keep me busy for a while.

Hi Jason! Welcome to the collective.  :borg:

I can help you with the bike bits. I make quite a few myself. Whatcha got for a bike?

Hi Jason,

Welcome to the collective.  :borg:

You do realize that once you start making something we will need pictures?

So  :worthless:, but when you do finally get around to posting pictures post them in the appropriate place.

Again welcome and remember  :mmr: and it's posible to catch  :proj:    :D

Regards,
Bernd
