Hi Amfibius
Welcome to MadModder, good luck with all your new machinery, there are lots of members to advise with any problems you may encounter.
Cheers David
Amfibius:
Thank you gents for the warm welcome! It's a little disturbing that all the projects I can think of involve making more tools. At the moment I have no idea how I am going to hold down soft wooden parts without crushing them, or how to drill holes without also drilling into the table (Proxxon MF70 does not have a z-axis depth stop), and so on. Also on the cards is a project to make a rope serving machine which I will mount on the lathe, as well as a multi-function waterline marker and vertical angle finder.
Right now, all that I have received is my Proxxon MF70 mill along with its accessories as well as some aluminium stock I picked up on eBay. I am still waiting for my Sherline lathe to arrive. Once that gets here, I will get started on my first project. I am already starting to think that the Proxxon might not be enough mill for my ambitions, even though I have not actually milled anything on it yet! We'll see!
I will post some pictures when all the gear arrives.

G'Day & welcome Amfibius, I live about 85km from Melb. Don't know if you are aware of them but the "Melbourne Society of Model and Experimental Engineers" (What a mouthfull.) meet I think at Monash. And you may like to visit their web site, perhaps attend a meeting. http://www.msmee.org.au/index.html I got the following from their "About Us" page If it helps.
They meet at the A.M.R.A. Hall, 92 Wills Street, Glen Iris, Melbourne (Melway ref. 59-J8), every second Friday in the month. Meetings start at 8.00 p.m. Visitors are welcome to come along.
Regards,
Swarfnstuff
