47 forum posts 18 photos | Hello all, I am based in Leicestershire in the East Midlands. I have been lurking and soaking up the excellent information on the forum for a while. Back in school days I did ‘O’ level Metalwork and Technical drawing followed by an OND in Engineering technology back in the 70’s. I then spent the next 30 years working in IT (strange how careers evolve). Having retired I wanted to get back to playing with Metal again and trying to remember the workshop practice lessons. I thought it was time to introduce myself as although I’ve learnt lots from Jason's excellent Milling for Beginners articles I am sure I’ll have some milling questions. Dave

47 forum posts 18 photos | Thanks for the welcome gents. Chris, I've only ever used Oxymoron on a Motorhome forum in the past. So anywhere else was not me. I just like the word! Brian, Mansfield is not far. I really think of myself as a Nottinghamshire lad as that's where I was brought up. I attended Arnold and Carlton college which is/was not so far from you. Part of my course was to spend every Wednesday afternoon in the wonderful workshop. Dave

2356 forum posts 47 photos | I thought an oxymoron was somebody that turned on the oxygen before the acetylene when gas welding..... ("A before O or up we go" was my old instructor's saying,seems like thousands of years ago, when I was training) |

47 forum posts 18 photos | Thanks for your welcomes guys. With the alternate definitions for 'Oxymoron' I thought I'd stumbled into a round of "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" from radio 4.
