1 forum posts	Hello everyone. My name is Jerry and I live in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. I'm not a complete beginner as I have been a mechanical fitter and engineering manager for about 40 years. However, I have little machining experience and, reading some of the threads has already given me some valuable tips. I have one long side of a garage for my workshop with washing machines, freezers and domestic type stuff running down the other side. So I have a sort of galley workshop (long and thin). I have a Portass lathe, a Chinese pillar drill and a D/E grinder. I have half made a Stuart 10H but I'm trying to make a few tools for the lathe at the moment. Hope to talk to you guys in the future. Kind regards, Jerry Raehse-Felstead.
