Hello from Hertfordshire, UK

[Busted Bricks]

Hi

My name is Michael and I'm a serial modeller! I've been building and designing all sorts for things from an early age. My dad was in charge of all the audio/visual equipment at the school where he taught so all the old, broken tape recorders etc. he took home so I could take them apart. Over the years I have done R/C models, steam engines, military vehicles, motorcycles, recumbent bikes, electronics, robotics, woodworking and I'm sure there are a few I have forgotten.

I've worked a number of years in the Telco industry but lost my job back in June and have (foolishly) decided to go self-employed. My humble workshop is a container sited on a farm. No heating so it's getting bloody cold to work there. I have a small 60W CO2 laser, a Myford ML7 lathe and have just acquired an Adcock&Shipley milling machine.

I was born in 1968 so am approaching an age where I can call myself a grumpy old fart - at least my daughter seems to think so. I'm from Denmark but have lived in the UK since 2005. Before that we lived 4 years in Germany. I have also lived 2 years in Zambia and a year in the US.

Best regards,

Michael
