Another new toy

Post by WARDY91 »

Decided it was time to upgrade the little mill that i have had for the last 5 years. I got the job done but on the slow side. I've had a few jobs waiting while i was waiting on the new machine.

having them is the easy bit, knowing how to use them like that isn't that easy.

Concur with Seddo's comment.
I admire blokes who can make lovely things for me to buy and use.
I can weld but fitting and turning was never my strength.
Looks good Wardy
cheers

My original trade was a mongrel child part fitting machining part boilermaking and auto electrics. So after leaving there I went back to tafe for night school to bridge the missing modules for full trade Cerys for firing maching and boilermaking. Now I can do all the things I need.
