I served my apprenticeship as a tuner, back in the late 70 s at Crabtree Vickers, but it s been many a moon since i used a lathe, so I ve a bought a little ZELUS 7 x 14Inch Mini Lathe to start off with. First though, i think i need to get my eye back in and make a few basic things. Looking through some threads has given me some ideas ,so i m looking at buying some material stock . Anyway my laboured question is what sizes (round bar, flat bar, sheet), material (steel, brass, aluminium) etc would make a good store of stock for model engineering ....
