Another hello from Victoria!

[Nick_Barclay]

Hi Folks! My name is Nick, I'm from Victoria, BC and I'm pleased to be joining this group. I joined a few months ago but haven't posted yet. I'm studying mechanical engineering, but machining and making/building things is where my hearts at. Currently, I'm rebuilding a King mini mill, a KC20-VS and once this is complete a lathe is next on my list!
I have to rework a few miter gears for the z-axis, and am looking for someone who might let me use their lathe locally to bore them out. If anyone in Victoria has a shop or a lathe and is willing to help out a young fellow starting out I'd be happy to connect!

Cheers
