New guy from Louisiana, USA
« on: July 25, 2012, 08:24:22 PM »
Hello to the forum.

My name is Mike and I'm from Louisiana, USA.  I've lurked around here before and decided to register.

I was a job shop and oil field service machinist for about 20 years and have been getting a machine shop together at my house.  I'm not quite finished with it, but I'm getting close.

I'm interested in motorcycles, hotrods, gunsmithing and model engines.  Lot's of cool stuff on this site that goes along with all that.

Thanks for the welcome.  As far as projects go, I've been working on my house for the last several months. 

Here'a a pic of my last big shop project.

 Hi Mike , welcome to the gang , sounds like you have many interests so this should be ideal place for you.

   That hot rod is  :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :clap: :clap: :clap: , to my eyes just right, not to blinged up too much but just the dogs bollocks , looks period and classy, do you have photos of it getting built? or more details about it. I bet is sounds very nice too  :D

   Cheers Mick.
