Hello From GTA

[TheCNCNerd]

Hello all, Mike here.
I do a fair bit of 3D printing and make a lot of car parts for myself via CNC machines.
I have been a Field Service Engineer for CNC machines for about 27 Years now ( ask me anything about Fanuc, Mitsubishi and Old Anilam Controls but I'm useless for Siemens) I have recently gotten myself a Colchester Triumph 1500 lathe for my home workshop and will be collecting tooling and such going forward. As I wind down my career I plan to Putz around my own shop, drink whiskey and dabble in restoring cars, equipment and anything else that strikes my fancy.

Welcome from Oakville!

Got any pictures of your new lathe? Or the cars? Or, really, pretty much anything. We're like squirrels here--we like looking at shiny stuff!
