Howdy!

Shopmonkey, here, 52 years old, married for almost 22 years. Enjoy mechanical and welding projects, but hate working on new stuff as the electronics and electrical systems are out of my league. I have worked in grain elevators, driven trucks of all sizes, and am a maintenance operator for the city where I live in the sewer department.

Hi Shopmonkey,

Welcome!

You've come to the right place. We've got quite a number of mechanical and welding entries. If you haven't already done so, check out the Welding category; you're sure to find one or two interesting tools and/or projects there.

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.

I'm afraid I don't have anything spectacular to show this site yet, rather, I came here to take a gander at what others have done to gain some ideas for specialty homemade tooling to get myself out of a bind, now and then.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
