« on: May 28, 2012, 07:52:52 AM »
hi every body

My name is rab douglas and i live in scotland, i have been a member of this forum for about 9 months, i have only read the excellent artilcles and information on the forum, I thought it was about time i introduced myself. I served my time as a turner/miller  and was time served in 1983, I worked in various m/c shops in scotland then I moved to jersey in the channel islands for about 22 years but now i am back in scotland.I am now employed by Scottish Power as as mechanical Technician. I have a small workshop in my garden in which I have a myford super 7, a myford 10 and a small unimat 200db and a chester 20vs vertical mill, I am about to fit Dro's  to my super 7 and my mill just waiting for the parts to arrive, (some of the parts are out of order) my other project on the go is making a smallish press to use for broaching small keyways. My ultimate aim is to make model stationary steam engines, I have a facination with marine engines and one day would like to make a model of the waverly engines' any way enough about me, I would like to say again what a excellent, interesting and imformative this forum is I congratulate all the members for there helpfull and ingenious post

regards Rab
