More about me:

Hello all.

I have been tinkering in model engineering from the mid seventies.I am a general builder by occupation and had no training in engineering practices.I have with the help of books and verbal instruction from an old model maker taught myself,it has been hard going but at 64 I feel that I am getting there.I have built two regulater clock movements ,many lathe accessories and have for the past 26 years been building a 2" Burrell `Gold medal Tractor. Work and house alterations are the cause of this lengthy project.I have a reasonable workshop 5mt*5mt I have a B type Drummond one previous owner from new a Myford Super Seven a Sieg Super X3 mill a small T&LM mill a pedastall drilling machine a Kennady hacksaw and woodworking machines.I am retiring shortly and hope to achieve more in the future ,if the senior manager dosn,t come up with to many new projects.All the best
