Hello, all,
My name is Andy Howey, and I currently live in Sunnyvale, California. I have no direct experience in machining, but I've been watching lots of YouTube videos and find them fascinating. This looks like a hobby I'd like to pursue when I retire in about six years. My wife wants us to retire in the Philippines, specifically in the Davao City area of Mindanao. Are there machining hobbyists in that area? Does anyone know where I might be able to purchase a (mini-)lathe and/or a (mini-)mill in the Philippines? If I can get the equipment delivered to Davao City, my wife's family could help me get it to our home.
FWIW, I currently live in an apartment, so setting up a home machine shop right now isn't practical.
