well, I met you and this great group some months ago, but I never presented myself
I'm sorry, but I'm a little reserved, almost timid on myself
anyway, now I know you and the feeling of this group, so any embarassment has gone
I'm italian and I live near Mantova, a small city in the north, near Verona (do you remember Romeo and Giulietta?)
I'm a librarian, but my hobby has always been mechanics: I like cars and bikes and to work on them.
Model engines are a new discovery for me, just after having met this group.
why I'm writing here in the 'Shop' section?
because some days ago I sold my mill, an X2 mini-mill, to buy a greater mill
but in the meantime I'm a little puzzled, because I can't work as every day in the last months ???
yesterday I built a new bench for the new mill
I made it with a square tube of iron of 4 x 4 cm and 3 mm thickness
on the top there is a piece of MDF of 4 cm thickness, where I cut a square hollow of 15 x 15 cm for inspect and lube the mill
the legs and all the structure are welded, while the table is supported only and fixed with silicone
I hope that the bench could support the new mill, which is about 180 kg in weight
and this is my workshop... ehm, it is a shed indeed, it was the garage for my car, but day after day the car was expelled :
space is never enough here.
besides this shop has a mysterious ability: it produces powder from nothing!
if I sweep the shop with a broom 10 times, there is always new powder coming from somewhere... :'(
well, here there is a violent storm... must go!!!
