Hello

Hi. I'm a DIY handyman enthusiast and also a model engineer. A small workshop/mancave in the back garden and projects on the go. I'm looking for encouragement and ideas for various tasks. My current need is to make some simple boring bars that will utilise HSS rather than carbide because I don't get on very well with carbide. I keep on breaking them.

Hi Malc,

Welcome! :welcome:

We're world-class enablers around here, so you've definitely come to the right place for encouragement! :cool:

If you post a note in our Tools In Progress subforum about the boring bars you'd like to make, you're sure to receive some useful input.

Lets see some pics of your models…
