Hello,

I'm a retired Army guy who just got into machining since I have a little bit of time on my hands. I'm trying to learn what I can about the vast subject. I pretty much work with most matrials: metal, wood and some plastics. Since many of the specialty tools are extremely expensive I would rather try to build them. Thanks for having me.

Hi jturn018 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you'll fit in nicely here.

What kind of specialty tools would you like to build?

Hi jturn018,

Welcome!

What sort of machining projects do you have in mind? The answer will be a good guide toward the most likely tooling you'll need to build…
