Hi Jim,
Welcome and Happy Holidays! :welcome:
Sounds as though you've got some neat interests. If you haven't already done so, check out Christophe Mineau's builder page - he's also a luthier and you might find one or two useful tools on his site. As a restorer of vintage bikes, you might also enjoy having a look at our other site, BikeBuilds.net.
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.
