Currently working as an electrical fitter for a switchboard manifacturing company. Got no f@$kin idea what i'm doing but i love it. Fitting and Turning is gone for ever. Only think i miss is being able to machine up bike parts ETC.


Good stuff!... that ought to be congratulated... my brother shares your passion of machining parts!:D
