Necessity is the mother of Invention

[ChevySteve]

I have been building shop jigs, and tools for years. Raised on our ancestral family Dairy Farm In Ontario Canada, I had loads of opportunity and materials from old farm equipment and machinery to adapt, modify, and create which was a great way for me to use up energy and keep me occupied. I became an accomplished Carpenter, from Home building to Furniture and cabinetry. I built my tools and shop jigs as needed. I was a welder at a young age, and pursued my interests in building motorcycle and hot rods. The list is long and there is nothing I enjoy more than turning something it was never intended to be into a useful item whatever that may be.
