Getting back into metal work after a long time away. Did my apprenticeship nearly 30 years ago and never did anything with it. Figure I'd give it another go....small lathe, small mill, forge and anvil. Tool resto's, knives, gun/reloading stuff....maybe a droid or three....probably a light-sabre (I choose not to act my age!).

Welcome from Oakville! We like pictures here if you want to share.

What kind of lathe and mill have you got?

Hmmm...with the name "Darth Zima", maybe you're into cosplay. In that case, maybe we don't need pictures!

What is cosplay? I think I do need pictures.

 

[Darth Zima]

Sorry...no cosplay here....just an old scifi/fantasy geek

Craftex CX600 Mill (technically Mill/Drill) and a LMS 5200 ...... big enough to play with but not big enough to get into any real trouble.

Weird. Just plain weird.....

I would never wear a red tie in front of me like that......

Stupid thing even looks like it has a drip tray.....

Welcome, from an hour south.
Sounds like a nice start in the shop set up.
I have a lathe, I’m still shopping for a mill, and the wife said no to the forge. Afraid I’ll burn something down.

My wife feels exactly the same ( with, admittedly, some justification...) ....which is why I sorta forgot to mention it before I got it..... I have the "I am sure talked to you about it ..." speech perfected.
