Hi guys :) hello! Glad I found this treasure cove!

[Steve Wan]

Helo all

I have been a creator of many small table top machine stuff as a hobby. Having said that, I now could rub shoulders with all the great masters here and learn many more...super!

About myself: Was a tool and die maker for a few years before I went in publishing trade, working as a graphic designer. My tiny workshop consists of Sherline lathe and mill, 3 table vises and lots of hand tools for metal and wood working. Most of my diy projects are useful tools around the workshop. Presently, onhold jobs are mini-power hacksaw, baby Aciera mill, a small fly press, tool and cutter grinder and some extension of the workbench. I intend not to work from raw but get parts cheaply available and create a new tool/machine.

I welcome both private/open mails in exchange for suggestions and comments.

Wishing you and new comers like me an enjoyable stay here

Regards,
Steve Wan

Hi Steve,

Welcome!

If you haven't already done so, check out our Machining category. Lots of interesting homemade tools and projects there for your perusal.

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 are also of interest and should be shared in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.
