I'm new and here is my brief intro.
My name is Ron, I'm and amateur radio operator (VE8RT) in Yellowknife, NWT, Canada. Its been a few decades since I had a machine shop class in high school, but my employer has an antique lathe that I can use, and a newer vertical mill that they would also let me try.
If I can do it safely, I'd like to catch up on forgotten skills, and learn a few new ones, to build some personal projects. To that end I'm looking for advice, including recommended reading or videos, for beginning metalworking.
At this time I do not have the space at home for even my drill press, which is in the shed in the back. Perhaps if we move into a place with more space when I retire (a few years away) I'll set up a personal shop.
