September 12, 201213 yr HI guys, Does any one know of an engineer in the bristol area who would take on small jobs. I am on about silly small jobs that you can do at home with a lathe and a piller drill. the problem is that i have never used a lathe and i have not god the money to buy a decent one. All i need is the odd bush to be made or a spacer rather then 20 odd washers. Whilst i am on the topic how does one learn to use such equipment, I know you gents more then likely learnt at school however i am of the generation where we had to learn sewing and cookery at school rather then skills that are usefull in life. ( just to let you know i could cook a fry up before school taught me how to bake fairy cakes) cheers bulto boy
