Another not model making

[Angus Anderson 1Participant @angusanderson1]

Hi, I am Angus Anderson from Bewdley, Worcs.

I am not into model making but I am into making bits and pieces for my turntable and mountain bikes, though I have spent more time making tooling/accessories for my Myford ML7 and Seig milling machines than anything else.

I have been to the ME show at Warwickshire Exhibition Centre for the past three years and always come away amazed at the quality and workmanship of the exhibits, something I need to aspire to.

There are many of us non model makers on the forum. Welcome and hope you find plenty of interest!

Welcome aboard Angus, the great thing about this hobby is you can make virtually anything

Bewdley was my home town, now in Staffordshire. Welcome from another non model maker, old motorcycles are my thing but I will not rule out a traction engine one day.

Hi Angus,

We lived in Button Bridge just up the way from you for about 10 years; now a bit outside Tenbury.

Welcome.

Not only am I not a model maker, but I am not a championship Tae Kwondo artiste, ballet dancer, motorcycle rider, bishop or chess Grandmaster.

I have just made a morse key from scrap, and am working on a r/c locomotive using a freelance drive system. Yesterday I finished an electronic project of use to all experimenters. I should have built it years ago.

Hi Angus,

Not really a model maker either, bought a lathe to make some round bits ended up restoring/improving that one the bought another which needs some minor enhancements. One day I'll get around to making the round bits I bought the first lathe to make!

Anyone got an 1 1/8 th x 12 BSW tap to clean up a thread on a Myford chuck plate?

Regards Peter
