4 forum posts	Hi to all, Vann here. Retired electrical engineer, tinkerer and sometime amateur woodworker, I've become interested in refurbishing old woodworking machinery to upgrade the kit in my small garage workshop and drifted towards metalwork in order to complete and upgrade them. Current projects are a Harrison L5mk3 that is older than I am, a Fobco 7-Eight drill that's nearly there, an interest in TIG welding that appeared from somewhere and a long time aspiration to build / buy a CNC mill if I can balance the trio of small enough / afordable enough / strong enough to mill steel. I'll be following the forum with interest and thank goodness I'm no longer working.

4 forum posts	Thanks I hadn't made it as far as thinking about ME clubs, but it's something to consider once we're all allowed out again. Appreciate the welcome !
