Hi Clifford - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you have a strong skill set. What kind of stuff are you working on now?

Hey Jon; Thanks, I'm trying to get my new shop together at this time but all this global warming is stopping progress
All my pics of builds are still on the dead pc got to get it to my pc repair pal and hope he can save them.
have a couple of custom blades on the back burner also a sword, my vw powered long fork trike is waiting for some spring ride time.
I'll post some pics when the snow melts and I get things back together (moving sucks) but this place is all mine and I'm stayin !!

Hi Clifford,

Welcome!

Sounds as though you've got your hands full. Moving is not fun and winter even less so. I'm looking forward to seeing your build pics once they're rescued off that old drive.

What's next on your build list?

Thanks Ken; Not having my tooyles in usable order is no fun, my poor lathes and press are havin a bad time in the temporary
storage shed. As for projects the new to me ford 8n tractor needs some hydraulic repairs as well as a few new 3 point attachments made for it, a 2x72 belt grinder is also on the list, and of course the concrete floor for the barn to get all this up to speed.
The need to heat and beat some steel into submission is growing hard to handle as well as melting and casting aluminum and bronze .......Man am I jonesin or what ??......
