Beginner from Ontario

Hi all,
I guess I am overdue for an introduction post. I joined the forum this past fall and have just been following along. I live on a rural property just outside of Woodstock Ontario. I am brand new to this hobby with very little experience. I bought a Taiwanese 2HP variable speed Bridgeport clone in the fall and have spent the past few months tearing apart, cleaning, and repairing the lower assembly of the mill. The motor I had rewound locally to 220V and have it wired to a VFD.

I finally made my first cuts with it last night and already I am thinking of all the new tools I "need".

Lots of experience and opinions in this group of hobbyists.
I was a machinist for Ex-Cell-O, went back to college for process equipment and spent decades designing and developing machinery.
