Welcome from farm country south of Chatham Ontario. Lots to learn from the young fellers here. The energy, passion, and open mindedness is endless! :D

Welcome from Lillooet BC. Tell us a little bit about where your interests lie and what you have to work with...... I think it would be difficult to have an interest that isn't shared with someone else here. Some guys are into the newest and greatest of the CNC world, a few are into the old line shaft era machines and everyone else lies somewhere in between..... But, all are a great bunch who will bend over backwards to try and get you pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for the great advice. I’m from St Catharines, Ontario. My hobbies include restoring anything old. Recently purchased a couple Sherline mills and lathe to make those little pieces you just can’t purchase. I’m in the process of restoring three older lathes, a 1920’s Drummond lathe, and early Myford lathe and a Hardinge collet lathe. Looking for a Taig mill to add to my shop as well.

Be careful, you may get drawn into some of the long winded and complex debates that erupt occasionally.:)

Welcome from south of Calgary, theres a lot of different interests on here. As to restoring anything old, might want to refine that a bit, other wise maybe a long line out side your door, I could do with a bit (wife says a lot) of restoring.

Anything?.......

Any chance you can restore an old Susquatch? Even a minor snow removal would be nice! But a facelift might make others happier around here. The very best would be a complete restoration to like new - especially the recreation area.

Personally, I would go for just a mild tuneup. The existing patina gets me discounts at many stores, and seats on the bus.
