I joined today from Scarborough Ontario. I like to built various pieces of equipment and tools. Some of the equipment I have is a small milling machine, drill press, valve grinder, and a lathe.

Thanks very much for all the welcome messages.
Welcome from Farm Country south of Chatham Ontario!
Sounds like you are already ahead of the game with all that equipment.
What are the mill, lathe, drill press, and valve grinder model numbers? Or better yet, post pictures! How well tooled are you? What kinds of things are you wanting to make?

Hi, The mill I have is a Craftex similar to a PDM30, the lathe is a 1300 series Standard Modern, the drill press is an old floor model Buffalo, and my valve grinder is a Sioux 645. I also have a bunch of other smaller pieces of equipment such as a shrinker/stretcher, bead roller, english wheel, bandsaw, hydraulic press, and welding equipment. My main area of interest is in building my 28 Model A hot rod.
Welcome from Victoria.

I'm not sure how much interest there is in hot rod builds on this forum but I do have pictures of parts I've made to adapt various parts to fit.Mmmmm, a hot rod build! Definitely picture worthy.
