Five years ago I became interested in machining. Finally tonight after years of working towards buying an old Bridgeport and lathe of my own, I was able to make my very first piece using my lathe and mill. I’m grateful for Tom’s Techniques on YouTube and this forum for answering so many questions. It’s a brass hammer head that I’ll put a walnut handle on soon.

Congrats!

Tom's Techniques is a GREAT channel. I wish he was able to publish more content.
 
That’s going to look awesome — walnut and brass are a great combination. Nice job :encourage:
