Hello all, I am proud to be a part of this forum, just discovered it yesterday. I am from Weatherford, Texas just west of Fort Worth/ Dallas. I have collected old tools nearly all my life and restored some, not all yet both wood working and metal working. I have a soft spot in my heart for cast iron, an expensive disease with no cure. I get so much satisfaction from rescuing a piece of America's heritage and bringing it back to life. Especially keeping it from the fate of the scrappers. My main passion is wood turning which it helps to have a bandsaw or two or.... and other tools to go with it. I would list all I have but I'm afraid the Director of Finance and Recreation (wife) will see the list. I have a newly acquired Bridgeport mill I am getting it up and running. I have always thought it's a great thing to make a tool so you can use it to make another. Thanks

Glad you found our site. I think that many of us share your sentiments regarding rescue/restoration.

I'm looking forward to seeing some of your homemade tools - please post any you'd like to share directly to our Homemade Tools subforum. We'll add each entry to our database, as well as to your builder page on the site.
