Hello All,

Thought it was time I joined the forum and share a few photos of

projects in progress or completed. But first a few pertinent details.

I live in Cheadle, Staffs.Moorlands and have a modest collection of

machines ie. Mini Lathe, Mill, Bench Drill etc. and belong to an active

group of modellers who meet twice a month.

Now to figure out how to attach photos which will be of interest to you. Since

there are so many will keep postings to two or three photos twice a week.

Hello Allan,

New members usually get a welcome before the page turns so to speak and you are on the brink of that fate.

So welcome. I hope you you find much to interest you. Others better informed than me will tell you how to attach pictures, my computer has some strange compatibility issue with that process so I can't help

Regards

Brian

Good morning all, new member here.

As a young kid, I took bikes and lawnmowers apart to see how they worked, and gradually moved on to car engines and Hi-Fi systems. I have continued to be a very practical person, and taught myself to bend and solder copper plumbing, and have installed several domestic water and central heating systems over the years. I have also installed or renewed electrical wiring in houses I have owned.

My working background is in electronics and radio frequency transmission.

I am here because, after years of trying to cut joints and drill holes freehand for various DIY projects, (80% wood, 20% metal), I finally have the chance to equip a garage workshop. I am currently priming and painting the ceiling and concrete block walls, and putting up shelving. I will also paint the smooth concrete floor. My son recently gave me a 3D printer and I have just purchased a second-hand Meddings MF4/5 drill for restoration. The drill has a three phase motor, so after cleaning it up and assembling it; my next project will be to research inverters or maybe VFDs to run it.

I can't work out how to post photos yet, but will do so when I can.
