Hello, I've just joined this group, having been directed here by a fellow member of the Model Engineering list. I have a reputation as being a fan of tooling made and described by George H. Thomas in the Model Engineer magazine. In fact I attended the Ascott exhibition, which celebrated the 100 years of SMEE, and showed the fairly full collection of GHT designs which I have made.
I am still working as a machinist with an Agricultural Machinery dealer in North Yorkshire although I'm nearly 68.
I also fly fish, collect Exakta/ Ihagee cameras and generally annoy my wife by hoarding all sorts of things which might prove useful.....someday.
BTW although I have lived in Yorkshire for many years I am originally from Scotland.
Regards,
Alan Hopwood.
