Hello.

Hi,

I would like to introduce myself!

I have been a reader for many years but finally decided to take the time to register. Not only for myself but also to potentially help anyone else out.

I have been involved in engineering for over 35 years, so I might be of help sometime.

My interests are mainly mechanical (but not limited to), as I have personally rewired and upgraded my own shop and a few machines over the years.

Old machines are my weakness. British and American made. I live by the "lets make it and see how much it costs later" term.

My last "home projects" was a complete refurb of my old Elliott No1 pillar drill. It is drilling better now than it probably ever has done due to a remote speed adjustment box.

Also a complete refurb of my 25 plus year old Sip mig welder. I can know weld to its full potential of 195 amps without the board tripping or the torch going nuclear in my hand!

Welcome!

Sounds like you may be able to help others on here, particularly newbies.

Having said that, not knowing the answer to a particular question is the same whether having 40 years experience elsewhere, or only 10 days. It's just that the more experienced tend to be more cautious!

If you don't know;you don't know; and all advice and help is useful.and worth having.

So please help any one in need.
