Good morning from London
« on: October 21, 2024, 10:02:29 AM »
Good morning all.  :)

I'm Bob from London. I've had my lathe (Warco WM180) for around 4 years, but added a mill (Warco WM16b) in April. Due to the size of my workshop (very small) I didn't actually get to use it until July as I had to have a new shed base laid and new shed installed to take the overflow junk from the workshop.  ;D

Since then I've been learning how to use it, fitted a DRO and have made some of the staple first parts (vice stop, fly cutter, etc) and some metal dice. I'm currently working on the Hemingway knurling tool but I think I'm ready to try and build an engine.

I'm going to start small and try to build the Elmers Standby #19 using Journeymans excellent metric plans.

Cheers,

B

Hi Mr. Bowcat, welcome to the forum.  You will find many friendly and helpful likeminded people here.

We all look forward to seeing pictures of your workshop and your progress on your engine project.
