Morning folks, I've just signed up after coming across the site via Google whilst researching bits & bobs. The site is a great source of knowledge & "hooks you in"

I'm semi-retired; electrician by trade, but spent the last 25 working years installing plant in the water industry. I have a reasonable home workshop with all the usual basic kit, including a nice late model Super7. I look forward to lurking, reading & absorbing the knowledge of the collective.

Welcome!

There will always be someone to offer advice and /or help when you have a problem.

Whereabouts are you located?

If possible, join the local M E Club. If you need face to face, or hands on, help, that is a place to find it.

Welcome, Salty, theres more wealth of knowledge for Myfords than anywhere else on this forum, not to mention every other subject under the sun.

Hello Salty and welcome. Are you interested in making anything in particular or is the workshop a 'maintenance' station?

Thanks for the welcome chaps.

Howard, I'm in Barnsley, deep in the Peoples Republic of South Yorks.

Brian, nothing specific at the moment, I'm still finding my feet & don't want my ambition to exceed my ability. I've ordered a couple of bits from Hemingway just to cut my teeth on. A rear tool post being one of them.

I've always admired old engineering, pumps, engines etc. I came across various examples in my water industry days. Ultimately I'd like to work my way up to external combustion engines, but I'm a way off yet.
