Hi there,
I'm Chris Bose, a new member from Victoria. I have a garage workshop with some old machine tools and a cute little Colchester Chipmaster lathe, a job and a family to look after. You can probably guess the rest.

No worries. At the moment I'm only down one -- an EC-10. Naturally the next job comes along will need that one!

Welcome from Campbell River.

We're getting quite a few members on the Island.

Thanks for all the friendly responses, especially from the Vancouver/Victoria area. While I love the world-wide conversations that we can have these days using technology, sometimes I think that local connections are under-valued.
