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.

Hi jturn018 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

Sounds like you'll fit in nicely here. :)

What kind of specialty tools would you like to build?

Hi jturn018,

Welcome! :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…
