Hello, all,

I'm Eric. I'm a 38-year old U.S. Navy submariner who stumbled across your site while searching for threads on restoring a Hardinge HLV-H lathe.

I'm a complete newbie to metalworking - I'm a woodworker, homebrewer, and restorer of old wood working machines.

I look forward to gleaning as much knowledge as I am able to absorb from you all, and thank you in advance for said knowledge.

Eric
