{short description of image}Please note: The advice and opinions stated and content within these web pages are those of the author. As such it is entirely the readers responsibility should they wish to follow or adopt the advice herein. Please be aware that workshop tools can be dangerous if not used with care and due regard of safety equipment. Probably the most dangerous machine in the workshop is the pillar drill, especially when working with jobs not secured to the work table when drilling.

Welcome to this site which is a personal view all about creating engineering models and tools in the home workshop.  To do this does not require a lot of equipment or skills but does demand a desire to have a go, patience to develop new skills and enjoy the results of ones endeavours.  Hopefully, the content of this site will inspire or encourage anyone to make a start and create something they can be proud of. The most important advice I can offer new-comers is not to be too ambitious and remember any fool can buy things but only a few can actually create them!
