Introduction

[SemiSkilled]

Hi all,

I've been lurking for about a week, reading old posts,

(you're a busy lot aren't you!)

I've been collecting wood work tools (users, not display stuff) for a while just got a Wadkin AGS 10" so I'm going to sort it out.

Just hobby stuff, I like metal work as well ( Lathe, Mill etc ) so I'll probably get to make some bits for the machines I've bought, fancy a go at some planes as well.

I read a good sig (I think it was a sig) the other day,

All the gear and no idea.


That and the name I chose about sums me up for now.


Cheers

Hey Lee just how big is your workshop? Thats a good working collection you have there. I have the benifit of a workshop at work, but its rudimentary, a couple od colchester 2000's and a TOS turret mill plus a Yang CNC lathe. Wish I had a shaper

My workshop has six elasticated sides, a mez and a basement :lol:

Well I wish it had :wink: 10'x 25' I keep changing things around, need to make some more mobile bases. I'm thinking of building another W/shop just for wood now.

Hi Semi impressive, what do you make in there?

 

[SemiSkilled]

Bean,

I'm still at the setting up phase of the W/kshop, some of the machines need tooling up.

I have a project list as long as your arm, eg recumbant bicycle, a foundry,

tooling for the machines, DIY, cuddly toy.

At the moment I just use it for work stuff (electrician) although I've started the process of de cluttering.

Now I just need a metric day to get everything done.

My woodwork is all new to me, no one to teach me so its all books and B&Q,

Lee.

no one to teach me

The amount, and variety, of expertise on this forum Lee is astonishing.

Hi semi will it be a 2,3 or 4 wheeled recumbant, always fancied having a go on a 2 wheeler.

You are exactly in the right place to learn about woodwork
