    Intro

    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.
