Title: New member from Down Under
Post by: Ghosty on November 15, 2016, 10:51:03 PM

Hi All,
I am a retired, fitter/ mechanic, done my apprenticeship back in the 70's, have just started to get back into this now my health is back under control, I have a Sieg mill and lathe that I have already fitted with taper bearings, and done most of the upgrades.
I live on the south coast of NSW in Australia.

Cheers
Andrew

Thank all.
Bill, Just playing around from memory, a project I done in my second year apprenticeship. I build and run RC boats that take up a lot of time.
Dave , Here you go.

Hi Andrew,
               As you can see from my previous post I am a newbie here as well, but I can assure you it is a most useful forum, so welcome. I also come from the South Coast of OZ, just up the road actually - Milton, between houses at the moment but perhaps we can catch up in the near future

Regards - Joe

Great shop photo
That shop will last a life time and can be heated and cooled at low cost

Dave, It's just a shed, don't need heating or cooling, just open or close the door.
