5 forum posts	Good morning, Steve Williams here, I live in North Essex and have been in and around engineering all my life. I started at School when they still had metalwork classes and allowed the use of lathes. Spent 23 years in the Royal Engineers in the Army where I trained as a Blacksmith. I now run a small tree business and repair shotguns and rifles under the watchful eye of a good friend who is ex Purdey. I also make knives and am looking for a lathe to compliment my workshop. Kind regards Steve
