I am John Mullen born may 30 1946. I own several machines. 8" lathe , milling machine, portable boring bar ect. I have been machining for many years on a lathe but recently have wanted to expand my machining knowledge to other types. I have made a dozen or so homemade tools for my machines. I am a hot rod builder and wish to make a lot of my own custom parts. I look forward to participating on the forum
