Hello from Massachusetts
« on: October 03, 2013, 08:21:40 AM »
Hello All,
John "Doubleboost" mentioned MadModder on his video, so I came to take a look.
Been a custom furniture maker for 35+ years, have that all down pretty well by now.
Inherited some machinists tools so I decided to jump in and learn a new trade.
In the last 8-9 months, bought a SB9A, a Bridgeport mill and then a SB13 and a Wells horizontal bandsaw. Still setting up shop, a lot to learn!
Thanks, Larry

Hiya Larry  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

John makes some great videos doesn't he?

Sounds like you have some nice machines. What do you plan on making\doing?

Thanks for the welcome!

Eric, Yes I enjoy watching John's videos!
Most of what I am doing now is getting some machines up and running. Making parts for a Baldor grinder that was in a dumpster???

Andrew, Always looking for good advice!

Vtsteam, I am 25 miles SW of Boston. I spend a lot of time in Vermont's NEK at my camp. That may be 2.5 hrs north of you!

Hi LJP
            Welcome to the forum, I work in both metal and timber, so will be interested in your postings, we would like to see pics of the parts you are making for your machinery, plus any mods you make.

                                                                                                                  Cheers David
