Title: Hello all
Post by: steam oil on June 13, 2009, 09:16:11 AM

Hi

I’ve been lurking on this site for a few months, and I thought it was about time I introduced myself.
I first got interested in Model Engineering at school way back in the late fifties later buying a Myford ml7 lathe ( I got change out of £200). Marriage and raising a family put a stop to it  :( . So the myford was greased down and not used for a number of years.

Now nearing retirement I hope to start again  :D.

I found this great friendly site  :nrocks: and will be soon makeing swarf again.

Hi Brian,

As said before, welcome to the collective  :borg:

Glad you decided to introduce yourself. I understand about not having time with marriage and children... difficult but I am doing it to keep my sanity  :med:

Can't wait to see what you make.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Stew, My main interests are steam engines of all types, my ambition as always been to build a loco. I hope to start with a simple oscillator.

Darren, David D beat me to it, yes its the flag of Lincolnshire.

Anyway back to the workshop got to sort out the (might come in handy someday) junk.

Brian.
