Came into this with ZERO experience 2.5 yrs ago. I'm as fascinated as ever and find a new way to mess up EVERY time I step up to the plate. Have finally accepted that as the "price of progress". Best wishes to all:)

I know that you haven't made many posts but it sounds like you have been having lots of fun working with the equipment that you have. Share with us what you have been up to and perhaps someone can suggest an alternate strategy.

Every one on the forum started out with zero experience. We all keep picking away at our own pace and depending on our desires and patience we learn how to remove all the metal that isn't required for the part that we're making.

If you have any questions just ask as there is always someone around to answer or at least give an opinion.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:

Steve.

Ive been doing this caper for 35 years as a career & Hobby, two Saturday's ago i spent 9 hours on a piece only to snap the slitting saw blade in it, started over again this time i machined it a different way in half the time all was pukker. Last night a new job i snapped a tap off.*&^%$%$#.


Moral is ..... There are Ten ways to skin a cat,  It takes 3 seconds to ruin it, hours of exact work is rewarded by a lifetime appreciating what went into it.

As long as you're not making the SAME mistake each time, you are improving.
