Hello everyone
I appreciate being invited into the group
I am a blacksmith by trade. I practice hobby machining and machinery building/restoration which helps support the shop.
Always eager to learn more. pic of current machine shop

Welcome from Calgary. Tell us more about your Shaper.

 

[BenoitL]

The shaper is a elliot invicta 4m 18" stroke and it came from victoria high school. It belongs to a friend of mine but lives at my shop for now.

A great school I’m looking forward to seeing it again after its restoration/upgrading.
I was in the Automotive Shop with Mr McTavish.

Very inconsiderate of him, cluttering your shop up like that. As a welcoming gesture, I would like to extend to you the offer of having me come and pick-up that space consuming shaper and storing it in a secure and undisclosed location.
Welcome aboard from Upper Sooke.

Yes very inconsiderate to use up my precious shop space. Though admittedly very handy in the blacksmith shop for making dovetails for dies and planing crusty old steel.

Welcome from Campbell River! Nice set up.

Is that a DRO on your shaper?
