Hello from Michigan
« on: November 23, 2009, 09:56:48 PM »
Hi everyone, my name is Dan from south central Michigan. I have always been a tinkerer and have made many of my toys. I have built a long wheel base recumbent bicycle, a 7X12 metal lathe, a CNC plasma cutter/router to name a few items. I'm currently working on a small horizontal milling machine. I am a few months away from retirement and am looking forward to having more time to play in my shop.
This looks like an interesting site, I will probably be spending a lot of time here.
As you can probably guess from my avatar, I am also a runner. I've completed 5 marathons including Boston this year.

Hi Dan,

Welcome to the collective.  :borg: You have been assimilated.  :ddb:

I'd like to see some pics of that recumbent bike you've built and also I'm interested in that CNC plasma cutter/router. If you would start a new thread in the appropriate section and post some pics of each.

Again welcome aboard and hope you catch  :proj: .

As we like to say  :mmr:   :nrocks:  :nrocks:

Regards,
Bernd

Thanks Bernd,
I have already posted a video of the CNC plasma in action. I will be adding photos of the bike shortly.

Dan

Welcome to MadModder. I can see by several of your other posts that you have varied interests and know how to use a camera. I believe you will find yourself right at home here as the members enjoy a large variety of interests and are always looking for more. As a retired member I know that you are certainly looking forward to retirement and all the extra benefits that it brings. Thanks for all your posts to date and I'll look forward to more in the future. :ddb: :ddb: :ddb:

Cheers  :beer:

I spent quite a bit of time there at the island park with my metal detector a few years ago but haven't been back since. I'll holler if I get up that way though, do the same if you are in my area.
