Hi Leigh,

What do you call north Essex I am Saffron Walden born and bread but now living just in Suffolk!

If you are looking for a club to join come and see what we have to offer at Cambridge Model Engineers.

Good luck Paul

Hi Paul

I was born in Bishops Stortford and now live in Great Waltham.

Thank you for the kind offer of the Cambridge club, however it is early days for me.

Having worked in a manufacturing environment for forty years I left to look after two small children.

Three years on the desire to make stuff is becoming an itch that needs to be scratched.

Plan is to slowly put some equipment together to meet that end.

All the best Paul

Leigh

Welcome Leigh, enjoy the search for your equipment. It can be as rewarding as using it, we all keep looking for that elusive near unused machine even when the workshop is full.

Hello Leigh, and welcome! I have pretty well a shed load of kit to dispose of, having just retired as a toolmaker. I have accumulated lots of tools and gadgets. If you have a particular need, message me.😊

Hi Roy

Sorry for long delay in reply, I have two youngsters and time seems to fly by, half terms and all.

I have a current project that will require additional kit to complete, as always a mill and a lathe.

Possibly a Centec 2b and a 254 sized lathe, both expensive items to buy and kit out, so will take some time.

However once I have them, they should complement any future ambitions.

All the best

Leigh
