More about me:

Degree educated but not really an engineer. Reside in Lincolnshire (just). Retired, but enjoy all sorts of hobbies.

Beekeeping, 12'' to the foot 'models' are tractors and stationary engines mostly, (non operational) radio ham, collect and repair circular sock knitting machines (as well as making a few socks with lots of help from my wife), wood and metal working, gardening (for exercise).

Other interests include renewable energy, winemaking, the Moggie Minor, the Munga and the CB450.

Raglan 5" lathe and milling machine, Centec 2B horizontal/vertical mill, a couple of small 'handraulic' shapers and a band saw are my metal cutting machines. An Eagle surface grinder grinds (as do a couple of bench grinders).
