I am a total noob. I am reinventing the wheel in a vacuum. I am teaching myself how to machine 40 some years after highschool shop class. I bought the Sherline 4400 lathe around 2005 and added the 2000 DRO mill a year or so later. I decided to get Sherline because of its size, affordability, and made is USA. I am into model airplanes, RC and control line and use it for making widgets for them. I have recently finished a couple PM casting kits. Very enjoyable, I learned alot and they actually run! My next project will be a Humbug scratch built .09 IC model airplane engine which I plan to put in a plane if it has enough ooph. Here are some pictures of "Dave's World" and my 2 PM kits. I will get larger machines as my budget allows but i cannot forsee the time I will get rid of my Sherline equipment. The more I use them, theb better I appreciate them. They are great for what they are designed for!
