Just found this forum by chance. I find it interesting.

Hi Downeast Thunder,

Welcome!

One never knows where the internet wheel will stop, right? Sometimes you get lucky!

What sort of homemade tools do you enjoy?

I'm in a rural area. If I need a tool or piece of equipment not already owned or readily and economically available locally, I design and build it. The same goes for parts on obsolete machinery - I fabricate new replacements as necessary or modify existing parts from other applications to fit. Most of the time, such designs are dictated by what I have for materials around my shop (that I don't have to buy). That being said and for that reason, my creations are not always pretty - but then again, they just have to work and do the job.

Oops! Duplicated last post and erased it. Sorry about that.

Interesting...no lack of rural guys here

So what kind of equipment have you built? Post some pics if you have them; I'm sure people would love to take a look.
