    New from Houston

    Just recently retired. Started using a Smitty 1324 for a year or so and sold it realizing I need to "upgrade" and am currently looking for a mill and lathe. Think I found a nice Pratt & Whitney lathe and a 'Port. Looking for ideas for projects in the future. Think I found a good place here.

    Oh, I'm like a kid in a candy store: oh, oh! That one, and that one, and.... and....

    It's going to take some time before I start prioritizing some of these projects. I have interests in lathe and mill tools of course but also into gunsmithing. There is so much here! I will lurk about for a while and will soak up the information like a sponge! Thanks for being here!

    Hi flylot,

    Welcome!

    Count me in, too. So many projects, so little time.

    Sounds like you're well on your way to some machining fun. What's first on your build list?
