aeroHAWK:
Hello all!

I have been machining since 1969. First in school, then working in a machine shop. Now I have my own small CNC shop. This shows the ongoing progress of getting it up and running (click on Shop):

I've made tooling, plastic injection molds, assembly machines, and computer controlled machinery. I have been involved in several start-up companies where I designed, built and tested electric motors, plus made the dynomometers to do the tests. I've also been involved in the development of several products.

My passion is airplanes. From my youth, I built control line models then graduated to R/C, and finally to full size. I have built several aircraft in my computer and I am trying to figure out how to get them out. My avatar is one of them. To learn about programming embedded microcontrollers, I designed an electronic digital tachometer to put in my airplane when it's built. You can see the process here (click on Tachometer):

I also dabble in stone turning as my artistic expression. Here are examples:

I stumbled upon this web site by googling aluminum anodizing. It came up with Tom's anodizing bench. I am intrigued with what I saw, so I joined in!

Hello & Welcome  :wave:

Hi AeroHawk. I too have loved planes since I was a boy and flew C/L to start with, now R/C. I also flew ultralights in Florida when I lived their and once owned a Wizard J3b U/L.

 I do some of my model plane designing in SketchUp, and also some CNC stuff through that using PhlatBoyz G-code generator add-on.

Looking forward to your contributions here.! :beer:
