Hello From Abbotsford, British Columbia

[JimN]

Would like to say hello to all. First would like to say I am not a machinist, nor have I ever been one, but if you need advice on how to turn nice little bits of brass into smaller chips all over the place, I am the one to talk to.

I have both a sherline mill and lathe, and have just started trying my hand at building steam engines. Now retired so have more time to figure out what I am trying to do. This all got planted in my brain couple of years ago when someone gave me a copy of The Shop Wisdom of Rudy Kouhoupt, so before retiring bought the mill and lathe.

I see you do team builds, which I am more than willing to help with, long as its simple parts. Such as a basket full of fine chips.....

Thanks for having a fine forum.

We all have that basket of fine chips and a box full
of "test parts" that were made while trying to make a
good one.

Welcome to HMEM Jim.

Hi Jim, welcome to the forum.
Sounds like we have some things in common...or rather a common lack of things :big:
But I bet your basket of chips is better than mine.
