Hi,

I am presently preparing my little workshop in the basement (9x15 foot) wich will include a Taig lathe,Myford 7 lathe , my old and trusty Atlas 10x54 lathe wich I am overhauling at the moment,a Burke hor.mill with a Porter Cable vertical head attachment,Delta 14 in press drill,Delta 24 in scroll saw,Excell power hawksaw and lots more. I would like to start building steam and gas engine at fall (after hunting season).I also like motorcycle,board track racer bike, knife fabrication,wood working,forging and foundry casting are also something that I would like to experiment. That's about it for my introduction.Picture of the shop will comme later.

Have a nice day !
Michel

Welcome Michel, these is someone here that can help with most if not all of those things, so don't be shy and ask questions as needed. No shortage of opinions and knowledge here, some of it even worth what you pay for it  ;)

Welcome Michel

Looking forward to your shop photo. I also have a small (no idea what make) horizontal mill, but no vertical head. Fun to use.
