2 forum posts	Good afternoon people, I'm somewhere to the north of Inverness. I've just taken delivery of a Colchester Student to replace an ancient and very tired Myford ML7. I'm also expecting a Harrison Vertical mill to be delivered imminently. No doubt I'll be looking for advice on a plethora of topics so thanks in advance for your patience and knowledge. Tim

2 forum posts	Hi Thor. Initially most of the work is going to be making all the necessary and unnecessary tooling to allow enough accuracy to build a couple of projects I have in mind. Ultimately I want to build an orrery. Tim
