    I just joined. I am a retired electrician and now want to learn about machining. I bought a Wells Index milling machine and haven't even picked it up yet. I also have a LaBlond metal lathe and welding equipment.

    Plenty of retired smart folks here; sounds like you'll fit in well.

    Any specific projects in mind to tackle first?

    Hi Lynn,

    Welcome!

    You've got some nice equipment there; it's going to be fun learning how to use them.

    There's nothing so effective as a practical project to help one over a learning curve - what are you planning to build?

    I hope to learn how to build an ornamental lathe for wood turning.
