Hi from Canada
« on: March 16, 2018, 11:06:07 PM »
Hi,
I am a retired air traffic controller and a serious hobbyist by nature. Model making, rc  flying , wood turning and even watch making to name a few. I have so far built 5 pre machined engines, bought a few more ready built ones which I soon took apart and rebuilt. Cursed with a need to keep both my hands and brain busy I have decided to try  small engine machining, I will be soon ordering a small lathe with DRO and a plethora of tools for starters. Should I succeed, will follow with a mill.
Wish me patience and accuracy!
Jehan
