| 38 forum posts 20 photos | Hi Everybody I have a Kerry 1324 lathe (I made a 3 phase converter for it years ago), A Pultra Lathe (which I rebuilt but do not use),,a Milling Machine and lots of Tools etc. I tend to use the Kerry and Mill to make things to use in my workshop. I machine the hard wood from the crates that the Indian Stone I had for my patio was delivered in.. It can be turned , tapped and milled. I make things in wood before making them in metal. I have not made any Models. At present I am trying to make a Collet holder so that I can use some of the special Pultra Collets in my Kerry. I have ER32 collets that I use so making the Pultra collet blocks is just something to past the time.

| 7227 forum posts 21 photos | Welcome to the Forum! You are not alone, I am not a model maker (Too little skill ) so make tools for the workshop. Really a hybrid between a bodger (No disrespect to the wood turners! ) and a very amateur general engineer. Many on here restore classic cars or motor cycles, machines, instruments or make clocks. The variety is what makes the Forum so interesting and informative. Howard |
