About the Author

Hi, I'm the editor of Model Engineers' Workshop magazine and, for my sins, one of the website admins. I'm a model engineer, and in the past I have written for ME and MEW, but I won't claim any great stock of expertise, just plenty of enthusiasm. Before becoming editor I used to post on this forum as Stub Mandrel (and may occasionally still do so). If you would like to find out more about me, my personal website is www.stubmandrel.co.uk/ and I have an author page on Amazon at amazon.co.uk/Neil-M-Wyatt/ Feel free to send me a 'pm' (message member) but these are a bit slow and clumsy, so if you would like to get in touch with me by email use neil.wyatt@mytimemedia.com If you want to send me a friend request, don't! Nothing personal – but I refuse all requests so I don't have to choose which ones to accept and which to reject. I'm always glad to hear your views on the magazine, and particularly keen to encourage new contributors to 'have a go', so let me know if you have any ideas for articles. I hope to hear from you soon. Neil
