New to the site.

I'm recently retired in the North Jersey area, I have been in the general maintenance field my entire career. I consider myself the typical jack of all trades - master of none. I have formal training in radio communications, tool and die design and as a machinist. I have fabricator experience and industrial facility maintenance experience.

My main focus is in woodworking and stained glass. I like to combine the two in my projects when possible.

My next "major" project is a cupola for my storage shed incorporating the stained glass and lighting.

I also get a kick out of making animated Halloween props.

So far I have been very impressed with the site and hope to "borrow" some of the ideas posted here.

Hi capt835 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net :welcome:

Plenty of recently retired folks here. :) What kind of homemade tools are you interested in building?

Hi capt835,

Welcome - glad to have you here! :welcome:

I'd love to see your stained glass! My wife and I have both done some copper foil pieces - is that your medium or are you doing lead came work?
