Hello from Wolverton, Buckinghamshire

Hello

I have been a long time reader of these forums, and find them a great source of information!

I originally trained as a model maker and worked for three years in that industry before starting up my own business making concertinas - the musical instrument, which I have been doing now for approaching five years.

I have never really done model engineering but the model making trade is somewhat closely linked, the main difference being the models I made were for display only, they never actually had any moving parts.

Although I don't actually make models of any sort these days I have always found that model makers and model engineers are some of the most knowledgeable people around when it comes to fabricating, making and machining things, mostly using manual processes and hand skills, I am keen to in some way still engage with that world and hope to swap tips and techniques on this forum.

I am in Wolverton, in Buckinghamshire I don't know if anyone on here is from around there

All the best

Hi Jake & welcome.

How cool would it be to see a mini model Concertina. Hope you enjoy the forum & sometimes a bit of banter.

Steve.

Welcome along Jake.

Welcome along Jake.

Hi, I am some 3 or 4 miles down the road from you, at Newport Pagnell. I am quite new in this forum as well, but owing my lathe for almost 40 years and doing some model engineering stuff occasionally . Problem is I have too many hobbies... Member of Milton Keynes model railway society, member of Milton Keynes model aircraft association....

Ah I see I was not aware of these societies, I will look into these.
