Hello All,
I am learning machine work. I will trade ya- I will exchange info on blacksmithing, knifemaking, swordsmithing, engraving, etc. for info on lathe and mill work. I am enjoying learning, and trying to restore an old Sheldon EXL-44P.
I hope I can bring her to life again.

I have a Rong Fu (Bolton Tools) ZX45, no DRO or power anything. Just the basic model. I have enjoyed it for 3 years, and I find that I continually am able to do better work with it. Now, I suck by your standards, but it is fun and helps with the bladesmithing, too. coin jian colwell and rodell resized.jpggrossemessercoopColwell_140809-web.jpgmaiden hair purple heart hunter.jpg
 
Welcome! And nice work! I really like the patterns in the metal.
 
:encourage: Welcome . Very nice work there Kevin .
 
From one bladesmith to another, Very clean work !! still waiting on my mill to step up my game.
 
thanks Daffy - do you ever go to the bladesmith gathering at Ashokan? They are outstanding. Come, if you are able some year.
nice to meet you.
 
Can't say I have, I'll put it on the list. Good to meet you as well, was thinking the knife makers had moved on...
