I retired in November of 2015 and have put together a machine shop for my personal enjoyment. I am a folding knife maker and I also rebuild antique knives. I am also a gun smith but have not found much gun work available.

Hi Jim - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

What's next up on your projects list? Can we help out with any tool builds?

[jsimpson]

I have a heat treat oven but it takes 30 minutes to get to 1450 degrees so I just finished a propane forge that heats up in about 3 minutes.

Next is a carrage stop for my Rockwell lathe. I am looking for a good easly adjustable unit.

Here's a link for carriage stops: Homemade Tools Search: carriage stop - HomemadeTools.net

Checked out the URL and I liked it. I'm looking at several but this is now at the top of my list.
Thanks
