1 forum posts	Hello all. I have a Dore Westbury Mk2 and a Myford ML7 that I purchased from Professor Welland of Oxford University some years ago. This was his personal lathe and his fathers before him. It is in great condition and came with loads of accessories. When i first got the lathe i also purchased Model Engineer's Workshop / Model Engineer magazines dating back to around 1908 I believe. I have read some of them and earmarked a few models I intended to tackle. Due to family circumstances I was unable to proceed any further. I am now 73 and looking forward to have a go. Is there any advice readers can offer please? I was an Inspector in the standards room of a large engineering firm so i have a reasonable understanding of the process but my memory is not as good as it was!

You have a background in Engineering, so the machining processes will be familiar, and most certainly the measuring techniques (Possibly better than many of us! ) Whereabouts are you located? If possible, find a local M E club and join. Your memories will soon be revived, and you will be able to help others as well. Howard Edited By Howard Lewis on 22/10/2021 08:17:25
