I came from Slovenia (EU). Machining became my hobby some years ago. I tried to mill some front plates on a small, home made milling machine for my electronics projects. Latter on got a bit lager mill, equipped it with a 3axes DRO and home designed LCD Tacho meter. There is also table-top (small) lathe in my shop, a band-saw, Isel CNC machine with my electronics and Mach3, and some other tools that I've collected or built in past years. Till now there was a shortage of space for my machines. In few moths my new metalworking shop will be ready to move in from a tiny, temporary place that I occupy now.
I'm still novice in Metalworking, need to learn a lot.
This forum I discovered days ago occasionally and found it very interesting, with a lot of pictures and information. Therefore I would like to a part of your community.

Other interests goes direction radio communications, photo voltaic systems, programming and hw designing, mountaineering and alpine climbing (a licenced Mountaineering Guide and instructor), etc.
I know, my English is fare a way from perfect, so I will stop typing ...
