Hello from Yorkshire | Model Engineer
Hi Recently retired and i've always wanted to finish a project of making a working model steam engine that i started with our teacher at school in metalwork. Now seems the right time. I served my apprenticeship as a tuner, back in the late '70's at Crabtree Vickers, but it's been many a moon since i used a lathe, so I've a bought a little ZELUS 7 x 14Inch Mini Lathe to start off with. First though, i think i need to get my eye back in and make a few basic things. Looking through some threads has given me some ideas ,so i'm looking at buying some material "stock". Anyway my laboured question ...
