I just found this forum while checking out ball turning attachments for my lathe. It looks to be a great place to hang out and explore.
( I thought I'd found a close neighbour in Micktoon from Newcastle-on-Tyne, but not to worry, my grandfather, George Gibbons, was a Geordie)
In an earlier life I was an Industrial Arts teacher (metal shop, Design & Technology, metalwork -depends what country you're from, but it's all the same).
Most recently I worked at the local university as a Technical Officer in the School of Education and this got me interested in silver jewellery making in all it's forms, ceramics, computers (especially Photoshop), video editing/conversions, and all things technical.
I'm into photography via my DSLR and have joined a local photographic group.
Also I've just finished building a furnace to melt aluminium for aluminium castings.
With all that, it's just as well I'm recently retired!
