Hi, I'm Ian M,

I'm just another RML member who's reasonably competent with electronics, including digital and MCUs, computers and mechanical stuff, after a couple of decades in the consumer electronics service trade.

Other interests include sailing and boat maintenance - not that I do much nowadays - and reading SF. I used to be seriously into Sinclair 8 bit computers, and still have a fair bit of vintage Sinclair kit, in various states of operability. I also have a few vintage PCs.

My motto should probably be: "Knows entirely too much about not enough subjects!"

Projects

My main project back in 2022 was assembling, tuning and upgrading a £99 3D printer, and learning the necessary software to fully use it. In 2023, I was heavily involved with repairing, maintaining and upgrading the RML CJ18A lathe. This year (2024) I've been getting into CNC machining.

  • My CJ18A mini-lathe notes are here. I'm now one of the Lathe trainers and maintainers, and can provide your Lathe Induction (ask on Telegram). Thanks IanB for my Induction back in 2022.

Stuff that doesn't have its own page yet

Plastics

[Hard to Bond Plastics?] - Henkel (Loctite)'s notes on bonding difficult plastics, surface treatments etc.

Soldering & Brazing

[Soldering And Brazing] by 'Tubal Cain' (a pen-name of Tom Walsh), Workshop Practice series #09, Argus Books, ISBN-10: 0852428456

Screw Fasteners

Screw Drives - Wikipedia's list of screw head/driver types. Good for finding the proper name for that obscure screw head so you can try to buy a driver for it!
