Hello All,
My name's Jon Gibbs from Windermere in UK.
I've been tinkering for a while now on model-engineer.co.uk but recently saw that there's lots of good content here too.
My workshop is single garage size with an ML7, a RF-25 round column mill and a little Warco horizontal bandsaw, for metalworking, along with two Jet wood lathes (1642 and a 1014 mini), a 16" vertical wood bandsaw, mitre saw and a couple of bench grinders - one dedicated to woodturning. Not much room to swing a cat but it's my own space!
I started metal bashing to support the woodturning but it's now taken over as a major activity on its own. I have fun making as much as possible and I've just finished HH's (metaler) fixed and travelling steadies for the lathe. These were a pre-cursor to the current project which is HH's advanced grinding rest and end-mill sharpening fixtures which I'm half way through now - Just starting the dovetail slides, having worked up from the ground to that point!
Anyway - really looking forward to following what's going on around here.
Jon
