Hi from Scotland

[Sanny]

Hi
My name is Sandy and a newb to model engineering ;D
I have just purchased my first lathe which is a Grayson 3 1/2" which is about 60 years old, I'm hoping to get it up and running and started on a few projects.
After learning the basic on my lathe I'm going to make a oscillating engine........ so I'll be around bugging you all for some help and advice.

Cheers
Sanny

Sanny,
Welcome. It's a friendly and helpful place. There's a thread somewhere on here called "show us your lathe". I'd like to see what a small Grayson looks like.

And like Vernon said: Great bunch here.
And from one newb to another - I think you made a good choice going for an oscillating engine for a start - do you have one in mind yet ?
