Joined the forum about a week ago. been lurking here reading messages.,thought i should participate.

Always been interested in model engineering. Learnt to use a lathe, milling machine, forge, casting etc at school some 30 plus years ago.

Bought a Sieg c3 7 years ago, but been sitting gathering dust.

Finally built a workshop in the garden (4.5 metres square) and am looking to get back into making things with my hands again. (My current career is in IT!)

Looking to get a mill next. Like the looks of the Sieg sx2p. currently seems to be out of stock. Gives me some time to get Santa (SWMBO) onto my side!

Welcome to the forum!

I was in Northumberland last week, gliding at Milfield near Wooler. Well, actually watching it rain instead of flying. I'm a regular visitor to the area.
