I just joined the forum as I am about to embark on some kind of project to satisfy my constant need to create. Not sure where to start.

I come from an engineering background having been a turner back in the eighties. I also programmed cnc lathes although not much use here.

Hi Garry welcom to the forum. What tooling do you have as I only got started with making bits after I aquired a lathe Which started me making a model lathe from Stuarts which then got me into making tooling to allow me to make that and other bits. I made a wobbler simple steam engine, then had to make a boiler to power it and on and on. I ended buying a small mill as milling on a lathe has limitations and that further makes other ideas possible and have made spares for other machinery and repairs.

Welcome to the forum Garry. This engineering lark effected me at about age 7, and it just got worse ! But it is very interesting. Where abouts are you ? Best wishes, Noel.
