Hello from a newbie metal worker!
Hey all,
Been a member of the forum for a long time, but have barely used it as a resource- starting to get into it a bit now!
Just picked up a hafco mill and lathe, just in time for the 'great lockdown of 2020'. Hoping to get a bit of time in the shed, if the kids will leave me alone for 5 minutes!
Planning to make some odds and ends, self-teach (with the aid of youtube and the forum) myself some machining, fitting and turning, welding, and see where we go from there
Anyway, g'day all!
Andrew

Welcome Andrew.
