Hi from England
« on: September 21, 2013, 06:36:01 PM »
Hi all,

After just getting my first mill and a usable lathe a couple of people recommended I sign up on here :) Both need a little work (a Warco WM15 and Emco Maximat V10) but for me that's half the fun anyhow. Both have been picked up to start making a few bits for my main passion which is rusty old Vauxhall Astra GTE's , though I do enjoy making anything and everything especially tools.

Welcome Ben, from the (gradually) warming great south land.

Thanks for the warm welcome :)

There is plenty of pics on my Flickr page, here for the machine tools http://www.flickr.com/photos/wherearethedoors/sets/72157635414769855/ the lathe is up and running now. But I'll do some tweaks later on.

Few of my homemade stuff here http://www.flickr.com/photos/wherearethedoors/sets/72157629187488949/

Then my real projects, my trackcar that requires another engine :( But has lots of homemade bits on.

Then current rust bucket project, purchased to practice tig on.

Thanks :)

Lots more projects in the pipeline, hence getting the mill and lathe so I can step a level on the next lot.

I just need to learn how to use them now  :clap:
