Newly arrived
« on: February 13, 2021, 05:11:56 PM »
Hiya All
Just joined.
Model engineering is something I've always wanted to do -held back by hesitation, limited knowledge and time. Now I've got the time and I thought joining would be a good start. Intending to begin with Meccano- I picked a load up cheap that focused my attention at last and then move on from there. I'll mostly be reading and watching to start with but if anyone in the Sheffield area needs a second pair of hands I'll do what I can
Cheers
Dave

Welcome to the group!  There are others here that have used Meccanno parts to prototype up frames and hold parts before the real ones were made, works out well. A fun hobby, start small and work your way up!

Welcome to the group.
Meccano is great fun and useful. Still see it at ME shows where it still generates lots of interest.
Would suggest you try and join a local ME club when times allow, there’s a lot to be gained.
