    FNG from NYC

    Hi,

    I'm Nelson from New York City. I found this site when it was mentioned on another site, and I commend the owners for the great job they have done.

    I am a newbie/wannabe hobby-machinist and own a lathe and two mills. I'm set up in my basement, so things are tight, but making my own tooling would be awesome.

    Looking forward to reading about the home or shop made tools on here.

    Hi Nelson,

    Welcome to HomemadeTools.net!

    You've got a pretty serious setup for a newbie, but what a great beginning! At least, you won't be tooling-limited for some time.

    Document your projects as you go, post them here, and we'll be glad to add them to the database.

    Thanks Ken, I like your site a lot- very well organized, and I know, it isn't easy.
    I will be cruising around to see what others have done.

    Keep up the great work!
