New old guy
« on: January 22, 2012, 02:07:36 PM »
I have been lurking for some time now & like what I see here on this forum  :mmr:so I singed up. I am a OLD retired machinist that retired in 1995 and have gotten bored so am setting up a rat shop to keep me busy.  :hammer:

Is there such a thing as a YOUNG retired machinist?   :scratch:

Glad to have you (and your experience) here bvd1940. The more brains I get to pick, the more I get to learn.   :thumbup:

Greetings!

I like your tag line.  Unfortunately, most of us live in throw-away societies.  I hope this begins to change within my own lifetime.

I think with what is going on here in the USA it,s going back to a use it up, wear it out society out of necessity   :bugeye:
I have lived during some of the best times in the history of the USA. :bow: and was taught a lot different than the kids are today.
