New member from Derbyshire

[Wayne WardParticipant @wayneward51978]

Hello folks,
I’m not new to engineering, but I’m new to the practical side of making things. Apart from some very minor dabbling with an ML7 making spacers etc, I have no real practical experience. I’m hoping to buy a Denford Triac milling machine soon, to go with my as yet unused Orac lathe.

Welcome Wayne, Derbyshire is a big county I am just over the border in Staffs.

[Brian HParticipant @brianh50089]

Welcome Wayne, I'm also in Derbyshire (just).

What are you hoping to do with your machinery? whatever it is you can be sure to get lots of help here.

[Wayne WardParticipant @wayneward51978]

I’m not too far away from Staffordshire myself. I’m hoping to keep myself amused by making stuff that I don’t really need, plus the occasional bits for old motorcycles. Some of my mates race old bikes that they struggle to get bits for, so maybe I can help out reverse engineering some stuff for them.

I'm on the Notts Derby border at Long Eaton

Got an Orac which is having a refit and a new professional controller fitted. Got a few CNC mills and a lasting interest in classic and vintage racing bikes.

Hello and welcome, I'm kind if half Derbyshire, as I'm half moved from Sheffeld to Buxton.

Hello Wayne,

I'm just outside Burton, which is in Staffordshire, but half the people who live there think it's in Derbyshire…

Neil

[Chris Evans 6Participant @chrisevans6]

Neil, I am close to Burton. For some reason I always thought you where way South of here. Chris.

[Wayne WardParticipant @wayneward51978]

Neil, do you mean “think it’s in Derbyshire” or “wish it’s in Derbyshire”?
