Hello from Victoria BC

[VicHobbyGuy]

I recently bought a used 7x14 lathe - the MicroMark version of the infamous Chinese Mini-Lathe.
For now, I'm mostly trying to accumulate some tooling and materials, and remember the things I learned in a night school machine shop class 40+ years ago.

Thanks for all the welcomes!
@YotaBota About projects: I recall I had some projects in mind, but like most minilathe owners, my list now seems to be mostly mods and improvements to the lathe!

Welcome from a fellow Islander (Campbell River) who is in a similar position. Except I also have a million machine!
