the shed dweller
In my home workshop, I make or modify parts for old or rare vehicles, I also get asked to make "one off" unusual devices and prototype items. As I work on these items, I record the process I went through to achieve the final product (when my clients allow), I always show you what I went through to get the job done. I will never tell you how to do anything, because everybody's home workshop and skill level is different.
I am a retired heavy machine operator from the turbogenerator, locomotive and mining side of engineering. I retired after 31years. My skills involved vertical boring (3' to 14' (1mtr to 6.6mtr)), large milling (20mtr x 5mtr x 4 cutter), 6Mtr centre grinder and many other machines in between.
Sorry but my web page has now been closed.
