Title: Hi from England
Post by: BenH 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.

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:
