Am 73 and still think like a kid. Have small machine shop, (chinese 7x12 lathe and a chinese micro mill) Like to build things wood and metal.

Hi jct842 - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you have the tools and the mindset to have some fun. What's next up on your build list?

[jct842]

Would like to be able to finish a dozen or so projects already started. Got a model of henry fords first engine that the valves need to be done over. Several scratch built pellet guns half done. Shop is so messed up its getting hard to do anything too. That is probably the most important to complete! Had some heart trouble last april and things slowed way down. John

Hi John,

Welcome!

"Slow" isn't "stopped" though, right? Glad you're back at it!

Let's see some pics of the Ford engine project - that sounds neat!

Welcome to the forums, jct842! Thinking like a kid is good for a positive outlook on life. With that many projects on your list, I'm looking forward to your posting one of them soon.
