Retired older guy.

[kd8wdave]

I'm retired about 10 yr now. Into ham-radio, among other interests, and now am getting into working with a lathe. Actually started with an old Craftsman 109, but now have a 'new-to-me' CZ300/1 (chinese) 12x37 sitting on my homemade bench. I have a mentor who is teaching/helping me when needed.
My job was software/hardware engineer for a steel mill, and looking forward to making a lot of "scrap"..err tools!!

Cheers

Hi kd8wdave,

Welcome! Let's hear it for older guys - we were here first!

Lots of interesting tools hereabouts for your perusal. You might enjoy beginning with our Lathes category...

When you're ready to share some of your own homemade tools, we'd love to see them. Please post them directly in the Homemade Tools, subforum. We'll add each one to the database, as well as to your builder page on the site.

Non-tool items should be shared in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.
