Hi my name is Bill I live near Boston I am a machinist by trade and am just beginning a home workshop for metal working. I have a 9" south bend lathe, a Sherline model 5400 milling machine with 3 axis DRO, A LMS mini mill solid column. My interests are hobby machining model engines, shop made tools etc. I also do some woodworking and have many wood working machines ( lathe,table saw ,various routers etc) I just found out about this site from You Tube so I am looking forward to learning and seeing what others are doing in their shops.

Hi Bill - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you are embarking on a very fun project

What's next up on your build list?

Hi Bill,

Welcome!

Sounds as though you've got a fantastic shop setup. I'd love to see your model engines!

I'm from Boston, too (Arlington, Waltham, and Ashland). It'll always be home and I miss it every day, but not the snow!

What are you working on currently?

Ken
