I made all kinds of tools from anvils to universal sockets. I took a 14 inch HF band saw and made it into a 25 inch deep throat cutting table I can cut a 4x8 sheet of steel in half

Hi Ron - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you'll fit in well here. I'm a rookie pilot myself, and our other admin built an RV.

Be sure to post pics of that cutting table; sounds like an interesting project.

Hi Ron,

Welcome!

The cutting table sounds neat - let's definitely see some pics!

BTW, I'm the RV guy! What sort of A&P work are you doing?

My RV is long gone, unfortunately. I miss it every day, but life went in a different direction for a number of years. Now thinking about exploring another corner of aviation, as the siren call of an L-39 grows stronger…

Obligatory RV pic attached.
