Hello Everyone

Hi,

My name is Philip and I'm from the UK. I have always loved making things and this year I finally bought myself a Lathe and Milling machine. I have never used either before so I have a lot to learn, making my own tools is a great way to practice and I have gained lots of inspiration from this site.

Kind Regards,

Hi Philip - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

Sounds like you have a lot of fun ahead. What are you planning on making first?

Hi Jon,

Thanks for the welcome.

I have just completed my first tool, a mini index wheel for the milling machine. I have just posted in the "Homemade Tool" forum http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/m...ex-wheel-17117

Next on my list is a knurling tool for the lathe.

Welcome to the forums, Cube1729. :)

Hi Philip,

Welcome! :welcome:

Machining can be such a rewarding lifetime hobby; please do post any and all questions as they arise (and they will!). Your Index Wheel looks great - I'll get it added to the site today.

Can't wait to see your knurling tool!

Ken
