Greetings to you all. I am a mechanic by trade.My interests and hobbies are old cars ,and old motorcycles, and working with metal.I am a rookie,(wannabe machinist) I enjoy learning everything I can about running a lathe and a mill.I`ve got an older Taiwanese lathe and a bridgeport clone mill.Working with metal is the coolest hobby.After I get my digital camera figured out ,I hope to send you a few pics of my shop.
Cheers, Larry

Hey Larry!
Welcome to the collective! :borg: Old metal is more than welcome here be it cars, motorcycles or machine tools. I am sure we all have plenty to share with you on your journey.
BTW... what is your location? In your profile you can put a flag for the country you are from.

Hi Larry :wave:
I was (technically you never lose it but still....) a mecahacanic too, till 3.5 years ago... I got bored with working all day and being under appreciated in a dark hole they called a garage....
Still do the odd thing when I have to!
Looking forward to the pic's :worthless: Ok, you have already excused your self from that .... But I wanted to use the banner :ddb: :D
So what's the handle mean then.... Larry don't start with a h or a d? (if it's a secwet, no worries :) )
See you around the place :thumbup:

Thanks for the warm welcome.You will have to excuse my lack of computer skills,I`ve been looking for the flag but can`t locate it ? Anyhow,I live in the Rocky Mountains in southern B.C. Canada,just about an hour north of the Idaho ,and B.C. border.A town called Cranbrook.I like all kinds of bikes,but I got hooked on Harleys,especially Flatheads,Knuckleheads,Pans and shovelheads.When I was a kid,I was hooked on Triumphs and B.S.A. bikes.I like all kinds of old cars. Oct.2006,I dragged home a 1950 Ford Tudor sedan.It was pretty rough,and needed a new floor. I built a bead roller and bought a sheet of metal and made my first floor.I got the car on the road Aug.2007,I`m trying to make it into a bit of a hotrod.It still needs lots of work,but I`ll have it on the road again in a couple days,and it sure is fun to drive .I`ll look forward in trying to post some pics in the not too distant future. Thanks.
