Hello from Western PA
« on: January 16, 2012, 11:04:39 PM »
  I am a retired doer of all and master of none kind of guy. I belonged to a forum that just shut down and decided to join here. I have a South Bend 9A that I restored and using since May of 2010. I also have a Sherline Lathe and Mill, both CNC. I like designing and building tools and stuff for myself and for sale. I worked in Engineering most of my life designing steel mill equipment and did some shop work also. Thanks for having me here and I hope I can contribute some of my knowledge here.

Hiya Paul  :wave:

Welcome to the collective :borg:

We try to do all kinds of things here. I find building tools (to make the tools to make the parts) to almost addictive to making those said parts.

Science is fun.

We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.

Welcome Paul!

Love the old Valiant in your avatar!  A buddy of mine had one in high school.  A real piece of junk, but we had some great times in it!  :headbang:

Cheers

 That's not a Valiant, it's a 64 Chysler 300K ragtop, 625 made and one of 125 known to exist.

Oooooh, Nice!  Fully restored?

I'm not a big Chrysler guy, but I have a soft spot for the oldies.  :drool:
