Lynn

I just joined. I am a retired electrician and now want to learn about machining. I bought a Wells Index milling machine and haven't even picked it up yet. I also have a LaBlond metal lathe and welding equipment.

Hi Lynn - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

Plenty of retired smart folks here; sounds like you'll fit in well. :)

Any specific projects in mind to tackle first?

Hi Lynn,

Welcome! :welcome:

You've got some nice equipment there; it's going to be fun learning how to use them. :cool:

There's nothing so effective as a practical project to help one over a learning curve - what are you planning to build?

I hope to learn how to build an ornamental lathe for wood turning.
