Hi guys,
my name is Mauro, and I am writing from Italy. I am a young (23) student at the Faculty of Foreign Languages and Literatures in Bologna University. My passions apart from languages have been, and hopefully will forever be, submarines, mechanics and engines. I like model submarines, and am currently building one in 1/96th scale. Craftsmanship and mechanichal skills have always had a deep fascination on me. I hope to learn and become a "model-machinist" by studying what is available on the net and exchanging ideas on beautiful boards just like this one.
I still do not have a lathe, and have been searching for one for soooo long. Unfortunately, here in Italy the market for bench-sized machine tools is not very big, and I'll probably choose to get a Taig...if I don't find some way of shipping a Myford or similar lathe from England! ;D
In any case, it's my intention to try my hand at model engines. In think that working with metal is simply wonderful, and will surely be very useful for my future model submarines!
I am sure I will enjoy my membership here. Last but not least, it's one more chance to practice my english and perfect it. It's such a beautiful language, and I want to master it!
