Hello everybody,

I'm a heavy duty equipment mechanic that owned an engine machine shop for ten years in the middle of my career,............... that was a while ago.
So once I had a heated garage I had to buy a mill and a lathe to save money on my own projects.
That's not working out so well :)

Great to find a Canadian forum.

Welcome from Ontario farmland south of Chatham. Lots of mechanics and engine folks here. Lots of advice on how to lose more money too.
 
Hi Art,

Welcome from Winnipeg! Glad to see another Manitoban join the forum!

I’ve just started playing with my lathe, still learning where to buy things in Manitoba etc. I’m suspecting I’ll have a mill within the next year or so to keep my lathe company.
 
Like many other sad deprived Saskatchewan boys in the 80's my first peeler bar experience was in Brandon lots of hearts were broken:(, Friday night till close, waiting for them to unlock the door in the morning on Saturday and way too many beers good times.
Welcome to the group lots of great knowledge on here, glad to see you have caught the bug and are enjoying the hobby.
