Good morning

[Steve Williams 8Participant @stevewilliams8]

Good morning, Steve Williams here, I live in North Essex and have been in and around engineering all my life. I started at School when they still had metalwork classes and allowed the use of lathes. Spent 23 years in the Royal Engineers in the Army where I trained as a Blacksmith. I now run a small tree business and repair shotguns and rifles under the watchful eye of a good friend who is ex Purdey. I also make knives and am looking for a lathe to compliment my workshop.

Kind regards

Steve

Welcome Steve; you need to figure out what your budget is plus another 25% on top for basic tooling & equipment, & what do you want to make with it … to determine the size.

Hi Steve and welcome. I make miniature knives amongst other things so it’s nice to have another knife maker on the forum. Drop me a private message if you want to talk all things sharp lol Mick
