I'm moving on in age and starting to get my little machine shop up and running for the retirement years ahead.

I have a small shop, but growing steadily. My latest addition is an Excel No.3 die filer which I think will come in handy in the near future.

Not sure how to post images yet?

Thanks to all for the warm welcome.

I am a Toolmaker by trade and basically make and machine up anything I am able to. Have my own way of doing the tricky bits that many may laugh at, but it works for me☺

I love old machines, or anything old for that matter and restore whatever I can get my hands on.

I rebuilt a Land Rover Defender from the ground up in 2 years. I ride an old 1981 model R80G/S.

Attached is a pic of my small shop..
