Welcome Trevor, what a lovely place to live. I have a Seig mill and have been very happy with it so far. I don't know how I did without one.

The other workshop tool I can't believe I survived for so long without… a Proxxon linisher. I should have bought one years ago.

Welcome to the party Trevor, as a child in the 50s we lived on the isle, and I was told that due to the water my teeth would fail ! May be I got out in time, over 70 now with all my teeth. Was there any truth in the tale ? Questions we will answer whilst you wait, though miracles may take a little longer ! Noel.

Welcome!

You'll find good company on here.

Don't know if there is a Model Engineering Club on the island. If you can find one, my advice would be to join, to meet like minds.
