Hi All.
My background is I am an Electronics Engineer but I started with an apprenticeship, that was 35 years ago, and to broaden our skills we also did welding, sheetmetal, fitting and turning, so I got a pretty good grounding. Trouble is it's really only sheetmetal that I kept any real skills in, and those were basic anyway.
These days I make musical instruments for a hobby, mostly bagpipes, and whilst that's mostly wood turning it has snowballed into all sorts of metalwork for various fittings, reamers and other jigs and tools. The trouble is many of those are not commercially available so I am going to have to make my own.
So here I am, all help appreciated.
