Title: Belgium
Post by: myfordguy on October 06, 2011, 04:14:29 PM

Hi, I'm Marc from Belgium.
Working as a R&D technician my job is to be creative.
At home there's not much time left at the moment.
Among the projets that I finished is my house, total overhaul of a Honda FT500 and some small stuff

A few years ago I bought an old Myford ML7 in bad condition.
After one year of cleaning and searching for parts I finisched the refurbishment.
Recently I purchased another Myford ML7 for parts, a Rongfu RF20 mill - drill and an Myford ML8.
All need redurbishment with the ultimate goal to make a Baroque Oboe and play it.
I know that it is challenging but I will go for it.

Hi Marc,

A baroque oboe sounds interesting. Do you already play wind instruments, or will you be learning the oboe after you have made one?

I suppose the baroque version with very few keys will be a little easier to make than the modern one which looks like it has about 50.

Hi and welcome to MadModder. Good luck with refurbishing your ML7 lathe, mill/drill and ML8. When you have this done you should have a good setup in your shop. If you have any questions just ask as there is always someone around to answer or at least  give an opinion.

Cheers  :beer:
