    Smile I'm an old guy

    I'm 69 years old, married to the same woman for 48+ years, we have 4 adult daughters, 3 sons-in-law that are more like sons to us, and 9 grandchildren. I am retired, journeyman machine repairman and also a journeyman millwright with credentials from the Federal government and journeyman cards from 2 different Unions. I have also supervised maintenance departments for a total of 14 years. I prefer working with the tools. We have farmed, cattle, corn and hay, modernized old homes and barns, gardened, raised fruit and canned it, made cider and loved it, and given lots of it away to friends and relatives. We are Catholics, attend church regularly, camp and travel with our 5th wheeler. I read, mostly history, WW2, USN. I am a veteran, destroyers, shore duty 1 year Gitmo Bay, Cuba, a very long time ago. We are both animal lovers, especially dogs.

    Hi navy1,

    Welcome!

    You've got quite the eclectic background; I think you'll find that you're in excellent company here. Glad to have you aboard.

    When you're ready to share some of your own homemade tools, we'd love to see them. Please post them directly in the Homemade Tools, subforum. We'll add each one to the database, as well as to your builder page on the site.

    Non-tool items should be shared in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.

    Ken
