Thread: Hello from North London
04/07/2018 11:34:21

Hello all.

After some months of entertaining lurking I thought it was time I actually signed up here.

I have a fairly standard shed-at-the-end-of-the-garden sort of workshop with a combination of woodworking and metalworking kit.

The kit is: Axminster TS200 table saw, Kity 613 bandsaw, Veritas router table and a Myford-made Drummond M-type lathe, a small Axminster Sieg C1 lathe, Record DMD 30 pillar drill, and a couple of bench grinders. If I ever find room I'll also have the Myford Super 7 and a Dore-Westbury mill that my father has given me . . .

I don't actually do any model making, at least not for the last 45 years or so and then only plastic kits, but when I was growing up my father was always making some loco or other and his mate at the end of the road had a 3 1/2 in gauge track in the garden and a couple of working engines so I'm not quite a stranger to it.

Mostly I just want to fettle the stuff I've got and teach myself to look a bit less like a complete amateur using it. (I am a complete amateur though, the day job is/was in publishing. My father on the other hand was an engineer, designing furnaces and the like in the Black Country, but he is long since retired.)
