Hi all.
Thankyou for letting me join.
I'm Gary. (Gazbo) in sunny West Yorkshire.
Heavy engineering for 40+ years. Made repugnant in 2018.
Now in a supermarket job, but I have always dabbled in general DIY, and small woodwork projects for personal use. A bit more time nowadays -to do things in the garage. Started by renovating some old woodworking tools ( ongoing). Planes, hand drills etc. Have renovated grandads ancient little metal lathe which gets used now for small parts. Made a small own-design wood lathe from spare parts - which works great. Interested mainly in old handtool renovations etc, and maybe a little bit around wood turning.
 
Now then Gazbo

Very interested in seeing some tool renovations as soon as you can post
Thanks Mike. Will do. ( there aren't too many.) It's a virtually "zero budget-go with what you've got" kind of thing. And it's on-going anyway. The metal lathe has taken nearly a year. Just nicely started on "me hand tooils" this spring. Some were rust-bags, some hand me downs. Some were " you're an engineer aren't you? - can ya mak use o' this?"
Er-indoors aint happy ! Dog wants to bite me now too ! Lol.
 
hello, love a bit of old tool fettling myself, mainly just to get them functioning well rather than looking nice. Love seeing photos of other peoples renovations.

I'll post some pics as soon as allowed ( don't know how many posts I need to do before I can post pics though). Before joining this forum, I had'nt thought anyone would ever be interested in my knacklings. Hence I didn't take any "before" pics, only "afters".
