Hello New Member North East England
« on: March 15, 2010, 08:24:33 AM »
Hi

I've just joined this forum after reading some of the very informative posts, and How To's.

I'm not that much in to machining, I currently have a Boxford AUD and am looking for a Milling machine and would appreciate any advice.

Main interest tends to be cars (mostly old VW's) I was originally a Coachbuilder by trade so a lot of my experience is sheet metal/welding/fabrication.

Best Regards

Frank

Hi there Frank :wave: welcome to madmodders. Dont worry that you're not much into machining ( yet :lol: ), madmodder is a "Projects" forum, I'm sure whatever you are into you will find others on here who are interested in too, and the rest of us will be nosy interested to see as well :thumbup:

The only thing we ask is that you show us what you are doing, cos  :worthless:  :lol:

Welcome to the collective Frank.  :borg:

I've owned VW's since 1971. Even built a dunebuggy in my younger days.  :ddb:

Hi there Frank!

Welcome to the collective :borg:

Tim has it right, we are not just a machining board... but a projects board. Almost everything and anything is welcome!

Welcome to MadModders Frank. I can only agree with what the others have said. If you have any questions, ask away as there is always someone around to answer or at least give an opinion.  :lol: :lol:  We look forward to viewing your projects in the future.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:
