Hello Fellow Mad Modders

(1/3) > >>

Mike E.:
Hello, I've just joined the forum, and think I might fit in as I've been considered mad for some of my past projects. Unfortunately, I have been told that I have become much more down to earth as the years have gone by, or maybe not ?
Retired now, building a new home, along with a new garage / hobby-workshop to enjoy building some bucket list items that have been on the back burner. Look forward to joining in and contributing when I can.
 

Joules:
Hi Mike, hope you enjoy a long and fruitful stay here.  Lots to lead you astray.

Mike E.:
Thanks Joules, nice to be here. Most of my shop equipment is in storage so it will be a little while before I can get up and running. I enjoy metal working mostly, and over the past few years I have made an effort to purchase a few old school quality machines in fine condition when the opportunities presented themselves. The writing has been on the wall for some time now, and the better manually operated equipment is just so much harder to find nowadays.

awemawson:
Good to have you aboard Mike.

I well remember the frustration ten years ago of having all my equipment in store whilst things were being built, and knowing I had just the tool for the job but packed deep in a crate a couple of miles away! In fact I came across my two sets of Cembre heavy duty cable crimpers for 35mm plus cable lugs only yesterday, why two? Because the first was packed and the second had to be bought :bang:

Mike E.:
Yeah, it can be frustrating at times, especially when the tools you need are in your garage half way across the world, lol; but that's not a problem now as I've shipped most of them here by freighter. Got to say, I'm happy with the power tools that have been available from Lidl and the Aldi stores.
