2 forum posts	I'm fairly new to metal work... I recently acquired a vertical mill, and a 13" x 40" metal lathe. The goal is to become an accomplished working model builder. Steam, 2- Strokes, 4- Strokes, Hit & miss, how ever many strokes I can get to work... Haha... What brought me here is a set of plans for the Vertical Cross Single. I'm a custom sign maker by trade. I have a full wood shop, with a 4" x 8" CNC router table. So, I'm used to working with my hands and tools, so hopefully the addition of metal working will be smooth. Chris
