As long as you have a few hand tools, you can get stuck in, welcme Peter.

Welcome Peter, as Ian wrote, you can at least make a start on something whilst you research what else you need.

What sort of thing are you hoping to make eventually?

All the best, Brian

As above a lot of people dash in an buy a lathe then think about making something. If you are thinking about making a loco or traction engine have a look at one – 90% is not round so the lathe sits idle most of the time.

Thanks guys, its nice to be welcomed !

what actually started all this was heart over head purchase of a Moto Guzzi with a sheared exhaust header stud, that's removal can only be described as a comedy of errors. The current thought process is that if i have the right tools for the job I'd stand a fighting chance of not making it worse

Ian S C, your entirely right, I made some vice jaw liners from copper with only a handsaw, drill, file and several blisters.

Bazyle, a mill seems like to right start to me any thoughts one the Aciera F3 for sale

Welcome to the forum, Petros Magnus!

Those are nice mills if it is in as good condition as described. I can't say what a fair price is.
