    Introduction to me, I guess

    Hello folks, I go by misterfxt online.
    Lots and lots of hobbies and tools to go with them. My occupation for the last 20 +years is as a Leo. Before that I was in the trades. Started in microelectronics after degree in electronics, then moved to wood working,metalworking,mechanics,metal casting and HVAC. Took the LEO for the insurance benefits. That alone saved me 9 thou. A year.
    I have a variety a machines from a small Atlas 7 in shaper, a MFC horizontal milling machine ,10 inch Logan lathe, 6 X 18 craftsman lathe radio arm drill press, regular drill press, full size Bridgeport, and all the tooling and toys that each one needs and more.
    I shoot competitively and reload my own ammo, I hunt, fish, boat and love the outdoors.

    That's it for about me I hope.


    Hello to all. From Misterfxt

    Hi Misterfxt,

    Welcome!

    Sounds as though you've got a great machining setup. Lots of shooters and reloaders here, too, so you're in good company.

    What are you working working on at the moment?

    Ken
