Default Hello from England
Happy new year.
Hello, I am Mick. I am a retired machine tool fitter, I packed up work 6 years ago. when I retired I built myself a small machine shop in my garden. My main pastime now is making half scale replica cars for my grandchildren.
The first was a 4wd Willys MB43, and the second a Bugatti type 35 that is almost finished, just waiting for some better weather so I can paint it.
My shop consists of a beautiful Harrison M250 that was from a school from new and they would only let the students turn wood, it came with a unused 4 jaw,unused faceplate, Multisize collet chuck and collets
I have a Tom Senior M1 universal mill and through the medium of Ebay have acquired a virtually new TS slotting head, Dividing head and nice Hoffman rotary table.
With the equipment I have I have made a ring roller, louvre press, English wheel,and a bead roller.
I now want to make a Thumbnail shrinking machine for my next project.
Best regards Mick

Default Cheers Neil.
Cheers Neil, as with all my projects I usually have to make them twice or more.
First project is a reciprocating thumbnail shrinker. I had it drawn up until I read the sub folder Kerry pointed me to now that's been superseded.

Best regards Mick
