thanks,
A bit about myself,
I’ve done a tiny amount of model building, a schools tracton engine, a hot air engine and a few years ago a model of a ladder staging for fire brigade competitions, so not a lot.
I’ve just bought a herless bm 450a tool and cutter grinder to go with my my ford ml10 lathe and have a Chinese mill drill.
I’ve just sharpened 2 drills on the grinder today, so still have a lot to learn.
Hopefully I’ll get into some more model building in the near future.

Well I’m actually a sailor nut mainly, but I like to tinker, I’m a fitter and turner by trade, but haven’t worked as one for quite some time.
My next project will either be another hot air engine or a model running reel that we use in urban fire brigade competitions.
