formers and press tool to make steam lubricator body and lid

Hi toma
Not much sleep lol. Once I have a bee in my bonnet I have to get it finished. There are two problems I have. First being I have way too many projects on the go and not enough time, secondly joining this forum. There are so many great ideas on here my list of projects keeps growing.

I have been very lucky during my working life and have built up a well-equipped workshop which has taken 34 years. Both my parents were so supportive of me when they were alive. When I first started model engineering at 16, Mum and Dad bought me a garden shed/workshop and helped purchase my first lathe a old Myford ML7. My Grand parents also left me some money when they past away so this was invested in a mill using my Grandads gift and my brand new Myford ML10 Lathe with my Grandmas, which I still have today. The mill was later part exchanged to purchase a Bridgeport mill. A few years later I had the bottom half of the Bridgeport mill restored professionally, and still own this mill today. There is a story behind most of the tools in my workshop but I won’t bore you anymore.
