Hello from S. W. Missouri,
I have just joined and posted a question a few minutes ago.
I have many interests and work in wood and metal.
My wood shop is quite complete and I have made many things from small to large. My son and I have made quite a number of non traditional musical instruments. I traditionally make in wood all the Christmas and Birthday gifts I give to family.
In my metal shop, I have oxy/acet torch, stick, MIG and TIG welding capability. I have two lathes a 14 X 36 and a 20 X 60 South Bend made in 1928 which I am restoring while I use it. I also have two Milling Machines, a Bridgeport and an old Brown and Sharp Horizontal Mill made in 1907. I also have a small shapper that actually belongs to my Son in Law's grandfather which is on loan to me.
I was a Paramedic for many years, but was injured a little over a year ago and am not able to work now. I am still able to do some work in my shops, but lifting is a problem. I can still do a days work, it just takes me two or three days to do it.
I have browsed this forum and am looking forward to being a part of what seems to be a good community.
God Bess all,
Pappy Frank
