Hi Everyone, I'm Miles and I got a recommendation from Dave Goodwin of Pen Kitz and Bitz to join the forum, probably as a result of me asking him 100 and 1 questions all the time, but he has been awesome! So my main hobby is cricket, but now with a young family, permission to go out all day on a Sunday is rarely given, so I needed a new hobby that I could do at home. I am lucky enough to have a huge shed at the bottom of the garden, and I have always been interested in wood work, and a mate of mine gave me a load of tools for nothing so I started off on the journey.
I started off by buying some kits off eBay from Dave, completely messed it up, learned an awful lot, and so a couple of months later, here is the little collection I have built up:
I've also done a priest, and a razor, but I'll put those in the other forum for comment.
Recently I aquired a bandsaw for the pricly sum of £10!!! It was in a sorry state, no plug, bent blade, rusted. After giving it some tlc, and a lot of WD40, and a new plug, I've managed to get it up and running, so all of my offcuts have now been trimmed down to very small pieces and I have glued them together yesterday, hopefully will drill it and set it tonight and turn it on the lathe tomorrow, I will post the result if it doesn't blow up in my face!!
Anyway, enough of me rambling on, back to work for now!!
