Title: Hi from West Yorkshire
Post by: martink on June 20, 2011, 04:33:26 PM
'eyup! I notice I am not the only one from god's own country. :) I'm a rank amateur at the ME hobby, but recently made a tailstock lever attachment for my Myford ML7 and an adjustable dial for the cross slide, with a couple more in progress for the topslide and a vertical slide. Thanks go to a kind gent for sending me his drawing for the dials - he knows who he is. Next up is hopefully going to be one of the Harold Hall grinder rests, most likely the simple one as it suits my mentality. :D I came close to buying a mill drill on impulse earlier this week but decided I would be better off learning to use my lathe first, after all I've only owned it about 12 years . It's extremely unlikely I will ever produce anything  to compare with some of the stuff I have seen on here, but at least I am getting some great tips. Anyways, I find reading easier than typing, so back to it.

Martin.

Hi Martin.

I'm also from West Yorkshire.

  No it's not.  But you can lean over the fence on the western side and touch it.

Though I can't see why you would want to.

Dave.
