Hi, I am a retired mechanical engineer, always looking for ways to keep the mind and body occupied

Hi 933cat,

Welcome! :welcome:

Keeping busy is a good thing, no doubt. What sort of homemade tools do you find most interesting?

Are you working on anything currently?

Ken

Hi Kbalch,

Thanks for the welcome!

I find interesting any tools dealing with metal fabrication. At the present time I am fabricating aluminum side rails for the aluminum flat bed on my pickup. It is slow going because I am having trouble getting my aluminum welding skills to a point where I am satisfied it them.

Hey Paul,

Aluminum welding can be challenging. Are you using TIG or some other technique?

Lots of guys here have the expertise to offer advice. Post a few pics of your welds in our Tools In Progress subforum and you're sure to receive some tips.
