1 forum posts | Hi - Names John from Manchester, very recently semi retired and looking at trying new stuff and learning new skills. Spent 40 years in selling so I have no practical or even useful skills other than coffee drinking. The forum looks like just the place to get info and get some answers when I get stuck. Have a small secondhand Chester Conquest lathe to learn on, seems to work well. Just completed a small wobbler type vertical engine and now going onto a horizontal variety. Wish me luck !

Good luck! The journey is as much fun as the finished item t'other John Edited By John Coates on 10/07/2017 12:33:15 |
