Greetings all,

I've got a few little projects floating around in my head and I think it's time to make a start on them. I'm going to try and pick up a mill/lathe and put some of my grandfather's 1940's era tools to use.

I hope to learn a lot from you all,

Stuart

guess you are aware of the Manx Steam & Model Engineering Club who run the railway at the wild life park in Ballaugh – though many are involved with operating the railway which is open to the public on many days, there is also a new workshop open to members

Welcome to the forum Stuart.

There are lots of exciting new tools and techniques, but the old ones still work!

Hi friends, I am new here. Not sure if this is the correct place to write my first message 😐

I'm not too familiar with computers, but machines + engineering…..different story 😊

I'm just getting to grips with this tablet my wife bought for me.

If anyone wants to say "Hello", that would be great. I am a disabled man, but I don't let it stop me making stuff in my workshop. Would like to talk with like minded people.

Thank you

Peter
