Evening, all.

I've been a lurker for a while so I thought I should sign up! My interests are pretty varied. Everything from steam to gas turbines to making tooling and parts for vehicles.

i guess the only thing I don't really do is small.

Im growing my workshop, buying all sorts of kit. My main machines are a Warco WM-250 lathe and a WM-18 mill. Very happy with them. Sure, there's more bog in the castings than you'd see on a Myford, but I've made valve guides for an Ariel NH350, all sorts of stuff and the machines work great!

Latest purchases are a sine bar and some Russian(!!) slip gauges.

Ed.

You can stand up now. I don't know about Myford lathes, but some old Harrisons that I stripped and painted(school workshop) had plenty, they dated back to WW1, I think they were installed about 1917.

Your Russian slip gauged should be OK, nothing fancy.

Hi Ed,

is that you? Good to see you here. You and Andrew Johnston have a lot in common – taking people up to 10,000 feet and abandoning them there

Cheers,

Rod

A fellow pilot then?

Aye, tis me, Rod. Me with a wonky column by the sounds of it…

Yeh I have been known to land with fewer onboard than I took off with. Jump flying is incredibly tough, but it is also very rewarding!
