Hi, I'm Mike from near Hinckley in Leicestershire.

I started model engineering about 15 years ago (got set-up with a Raglan lathe and Astra milling machine) but gradually life took over.

I now have the space and a little time to start up again, so will be moving my machines from storage sometime soon and cracking on with the half-built Anthony Mount Trapezium con rod engine that I started!

I'm also interested in engineering in general, fixing and inventing contraptions.

Will be posting some questions soon.

Cheers

Mike
