Hello forum members,Hello
After visiting your forum as a guest for some two months, I have just become a member. My name is John and I live in south west County Durham, England.
My main interests are engineering history, model/toy steam and music.
I am now retired and need to embrace the digital age with computer and digital camera. With the help of this forum I am confident my limited skills will improve.
I have a small workshop, lathe, drilling machine and the usual hand
tools, which I use to renovate, bring back to life unloved engines,
at the moment a Stuart S50 to Tubal Caines modifications as in the
Model Engineer.
I have not yet restored a Mamod or Wilesco, but with the infectious
enthusiasm generated by members here rubbing off on me ,the time may soon come.
My collection is small, Mamod TE1, Roadster both bought new in
the 1970's.
Stuart Turner score, 10H, No8, S50, 500 boiler, all bought off Ebay.
Anyway, that's enough of me------I know my wallet will be depleted
and the collection expanded.
Thank you all for letting me become a member of this unique and
prestigious forum.
Compliments of the season to everyone.
Regards,
John.

Welcome to the forum John! Take a peek in the technical tip, builds area. There are some current builds there that would surely spark a machinist interest like yours.
Cheers!

Hello John and welcome!
Sure sounds like you have the right stuff to really enjoy all that's available here.
Despite what others around here say ... we will let you keep your wallet ... we'll just work to convince you that it's really best to totally empty it out at regular and frequent intervals!!!
