    New member, what a great forum!

    Hi all,
    I'm a fitter/machinist/mechanic. I have always enjoyed all things mechanical, but only in the last 10yrs have I started to enjoy making tools rather than buying them. I sometimes question this decision, but things usually turn out OK. So stumbling upon this site has been great, like-minded people, sharing great ideas. I have made some simple tools and some more complex ones, some are still in the development phase, (for when I get time). I am re-building a single seat racing car for hillclimbing and sprints but my tool building keeps getting in the way. I am finding this tool building a bit addictive!
    I would like to post some of my tools for all to see, but I usually find this part of posting a little difficult, so if anyone can help out a newbie poster at this sort of thing it would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Astro,

    Welcome!

    We definitely want to see your homemade tools, so please let us know what sort of posting help you need and we'll do everything we can to help you get going with it.

    What's next on your tool building list?

    I'm also really interested in your race car rebuild project. I'm working on an Ultima GTR at the moment and there lots of other car guys hereabouts…
