Thanks Guys for the replies.

Mike, TD and Metalwork were the only things I was any good at at school. My first introduction was a 12" Harrison which looked quite big to a 14 year old. I think the first lesson went like "This is a lathe, dont leave the chuck key in when you turn it on" , which of course we all did at some point. Happy days.

Hi everyone.

Just taking a minute to introduce myself. I wouldn't call myself a model engineer yet but a few years ago I bought the machine mart version of the mini lathe and I have enjoyed relearning how to use a lathe etc to make parts for the gadgets and silly stuff that I make.

I would now like to go back to some unfinished business from when I left school in 1979 and have a go at making the hot air engine that I was building for metalwork CSE. Even though it was never completed the work was still good enough to me through . I even think that the original book is still for sale on amazon so this should be fun.

Wish me luck and i'm sure it wont be long before I'm asking for advice

Thanks

Andy
