It's time I checked in.....
« on: November 26, 2013, 10:17:07 PM »
I've been signed up here for quite a while but never made a post.  I do visit often to admire the great projects and steal the good ideas.  I'm another old retired guy who went to school when  manual skills and machine tool knowledge was considered an asset.  Now, with too many hobbies (ham radio, trail-bikes, photography etc,) and no visible means of support, I have to have a shop to keep it all going.  I confess that sometimes I just make strange things for no real reason at all.

I hope I can fit in as an inmate.

Well....that's a little embarrasing.  It turns out I have already checked in and that was my second post.  I guess I didn't mention my memory problem...... :doh:

Hi patuca

                Welcome to MadModder, like your dividing head and tap wrench. Look forward to seeing more of your projects.

Mike, I'm sure that you'll fit in just fine - at least you have the same memory issues as many of us  :ddb:

Welcome aboard  (aboard)
