    Hobby project

    Everybody needs a hobby project. One with no deadline, one that fits in between your real projects. Here is my hobby project - it will be a multi-machine-tool built from the ground up. It started life just to be a surface grinder but grew into a vertical mill and then also a shaper. I do not usually make models first but this time I have partially made a wooden mockup. This will also become a working model before the real thing gets built.
