I don't know how appropriate this is in rec.models.rc, but it seems to
be as close as it gets (perhaps we could have a rec.models, or a
rec.steam, or rec.metalworking ... you get the idea).
I am a hobby machinist (or model engineer). I have not been
terribly active in my hobby, as I have limited time and funds just
now, but I do try to keep up with the field, and I would like to talk
with others who have similar interests.
I do read several magazines, including "Live Steam", "Home Shop
Machinist", and "Model Engineering". I have a 3" Sherline Model 4000
lathe with milling attachment, and various tools and such.
I am looking for a screw cutting attachment for the lathe, as well as
a morse #0 taper threaded to take a 3/16" (24tpi) chuck.
Anyway, how many of you are also interested in metalworking?
