Hi from Chicago's north side

[SpenceChicago]

I like the idea of homemade tools...especially modifiying whatever I have into whatever I need.

I'm a woodworker more than metal worker, so I'm here to learn!

Hi Spence - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

What tools would you like to build next? Do you see anything here that particularly catches your eye?

[SpenceChicago]

Hmmm, I don't know. I'm looking around the site for ideas. It appears everyone is a metal worker, so I'm looking at the basics of the procedures to see where I might gravitate as far as what I'll need to start in on this. My wife is interested in metal working, so I'll likely have her "permission" to add tools to the shop for this Where I'll find room to put them, I do not know, so I'm still checking things out. One thing I'll eventually need is a source for the metal. Where do y'all shop for that?

Take a look at the Woodworking category for more wood ideas: Homemade Woodworking Tools - HomemadeTools.net.

For the metal supplier question, I would say to post a new discussion here: https://www.homemadetools.net/forum/general-tool-talk/
