Metal Working

In addition to ham radio, I enjoy metal working, especially when it can be applied to ham radio projects

A metal turning mini-lathe was recently purchased to augment the wood turning lathe that I have used for many years. So far this promises to be very useful in building parts for my several other hobbies. The first project was to turn a set of matching knobs for a ham radio transceiver that I had built.
