Hi Jon - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

What are your interests? Any specific projects caught your eye?

I'm interested in the usual guy stuff, fishing,hunting and so on, currently, I'm interested in learning how to use a metal/wood lathe,scroll saw, 14'' band saw and router. My intention is to build tools that I can from the experience of others that I need to help me create stuff for my friends and family. All tools are so expensive and I have a limited budget, so I'm building what I can.

An example:
I purchased a 1936 woodcraft table top wood lathe for $10 bucks and re-mounted the head and tail stock/tool rest to a wood base.

I'm currently working on slicing wood logs length wise and carving/scrolling the fields with a scene that is relevant to the person or friend I would like to make something for

So, that's all for the time being.
