Twisted Crank

I've always had an interest in metal work but never felt confident to start. However since I've retired and getting concerned about getting bored I decided to launch into building parts parts principally for my old motorbikes/cars/model aircraft engine collection and I will be building some internal model engines like the Farmboy Hit and Miss and Sidevalve Model Aircraft engines.
Bought H&F Mill and Lathe. Like others here I have found the member contributions excellent, freely giving their guidance on subjects such as tooling and techniques. I might launch into plating and casting a bit later on.
I just happen to be on holidays in Western Samoa with my laptop (and family) hence the reference above. For my next job I was researching how to install a QCTP for a friend and myself, found an excellent article on this site for my specific lathe... so I thought its well and truly time to join.
I'm hoping I might be able to give back by participating if I have some useful information to contribute. Here's hoping!
