felixx Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Ok.. time to make a long story short Im no engineer, its no secret. I have been working on upskilling in this area and have skills in some area Recently I began teaching again and as such been hanging about the engineering workshop a bit picking up skills and getting in the way. Anyway the old lathe (Boxford) I work on is being replaced with a bigger one at the end of the year. (the kids want to use the shiny newer ones) Anyway its coming to my place when it is 'decomissioned' Pics to come Plan is to clean her up at school and put her in my garage and make all the things 9 Quote
