Hello from Down Under

Hi All, Hobby machinist from Australia. I joined up after finding a thread on restoring a Cincinnati Tool & Cutter grinder here. I’m about to undertake the same thing.

Welcome from Vancouver, Canada, home for many Aussie ski instructors!

 

[YotaBota]

Another Vancouver Island welcome. You may have noticed we enjoy banter, sarcasm and general poking fun at each other, please make yourself at home and join in.
Oh, and once in a while some serious hobby machining makes it's way into the discussion. It's like going to the fights and having a hockey game break out. lol

A welcome from Abbotsford ,B.C. My wife and I have done 2/3s of the lap of Aus. My wife still reads the Gibb River Road group. YotaBota is very correct, we do like to have fun.

And another welcome aboard from Abbotsford, BC!

Welcome from Ontario Farm Country. Must be a pain being upside down all the time down under.

On the bright side, drilling a hole to China doesn't work at all for you. Seems you would come out in the Sargasso Sea (Bermuda Triangle) SE of the USA. Might explain a few things......

Glad you joined us. Enjoy the forum.

Welcome from Lillooet BC.....
I have a machining related question for you..... Which way do your chips curl off the lathe? I know your toilets spin backwards and you drive on the wrong side of the road, so it naturally got me to thinking....
Not sure what @YotaBota is yammering on about, we're a pretty serious lot around here.
