A mix of "ham radio","playing machinest",etc

[kd8wdave]

Hi folks from Middletown,OH USA

Been retired about 10 yr now. Been into ham radio over 20 yr, now adding lathing to my list of entertainment.
I got into lathing to help me make antennas, so found a 'baby lathe', restored to working condition, added
another 'bigger is better' lathe and now contemplating building a milling machine among other things.
My career spanned over 40 yrs, with over 30 in a steel mill. I'm a retired process engineer(electrical type),
software engineer and networking.
Now just 'making swarf' and working CW on my radio.
Here is a 'pic' of my newer to me lathe.http://i1093.photobucket.com/albums/i438/kd8wdave/MtdOnBench_zpsdef58178.jpg

Hi Dave 

Welcome to MadModder. It's nice of you to join us. You will find a nice mix of various interests including a few hams. 

It certainly sounds like you have a good start on the equipment side of things. If you have any questions, just fire away as there is always someone around to answer or at least give an opinion. We look forward to your participation in the various threads.

Cheers
