Hi folks

Better introduce myself as Clearly I have been spotted
John from Carlisle UK
Just in nthe process of getting my shop together.
I have a Boxford AUD lathe, A deckell FP1 miller and a rubbish Drill ( from a well known british tool store )
Looking forward to learning fro the old lags here.

From the looks of some of the shops I have a long way to go.
Will post some pics when I get the place cleaned up a bit

Welcome to HMEM John.

No need to clean up before taking pictures.
I cleaned my shop up one time in 2007. It took me 3 months
to know where every thing was. I'll never do that again!

Just around corner from Brook street / Greystone Rd.
Worked for some time at Cowans Sheldon in late seventies ( you will hardly remember it)

Suppose you never got to drink in the "Cranemakers" or the "St Nick" :'(

Thats right - I would have been considerably under-age!
