3 forum posts 10 photos | Hi everybody. I am an olde retired toolmaker who has washed up in Norfolk after living most of my life in London. I am lucky to live in a quiet little village in a house with a very large garden. I have turned the double garage into a workshop and have a Bridgeport CNC mill, Colchester Bantam and lovely lovely wreck of a spark eroder which I bought as an Ebay bargain. I have been making a live steam scale model of Titanics port triple xxx engine (still not finished after far to long) and am also into making Orrerys. |

3 forum posts 10 photos | Hi Neil. Thank you for your post. I have some of my Orreries on line and you can see them at Orrerydesign.com. Yes, I think I would need a couple of years to work up the courage to cut a 10" wheel, brass aint cheap!!!!. Always glad to chat about Orrerys.
Regards Derek |
