New guy on the block

Well, here I am-a brand spanking NEWBY! My background is primarily aviation, so sheet metal stuff really catches my eye, but I'm fascinated by everything I've seen on this forum. I'll probably be a "lurker" for a while as I learn my way around and not want to embarrass myself with dumbstuff questions and comments. You folks have some really COOL stuff here! WOWSER

Hi timrpilot,

Welcome! Speaking as a lifelong aviation enthusiast, longtime pilot and CFI, and builder of an aluminum airplane (RV-8), I think you'll find yourself in good company here.

Check out our Sheetmetal tag page - you're sure to find some interesting entries there…

When you're ready to share some of your own homemade tools, we'd love to see them. Please post them directly in the Homemade Tools subforum. We'll add each one to the database, as well as to your builder page on the site.

Non-tool items should be shared in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.
