    Default Fit as a turner

    Hello all craftspersons.
    Name is Mark and I have been viewing this site for some time.
    I'm a retired engineer who wants to build a long case clock, raise some chickens, turn some steel into something useful, visit the grandchildren and find some time for hobbies.
    I suffer from the curse of the engineer----"if something is broken you've got to fix it, regardless of cost or time".

    Hallo Mark,
    Re. Long Casr Clock, try contacting 'Nine Fingers' on this site. He is something of an expert in the subject, having made severeal with superb workmanship.
    Good luck.
