I’m Patrick, 62 yo. Preparing my retirement, I’m installing my metal workshop. I have an Angelini AVM MAS 140 lathe and a Cincinnati Milacron PF25, both not operative yet pending electrical installation achievement.

As a beginner, I will be looking for your advices, and I hope I will not ask too stupid questions 😉

Have a nice year end 🙂

Thank you for your answers. I live not far from Aix en Provence. I’ve many ideas, but I need to install my workshop first, which will take quite a long time considering I’m not retired yet…
