Hi!
« on: June 03, 2012, 01:04:11 PM »
Hello all,

My name is Dave and I am a steamboater and I like to make tooling for my shop!
I'm from the other side of the pond in Massachusetts.   I've worked as a mechanical Engineer for the past 25 years and have been "turning cranks" for nearly that long.   

Glad to be here!

Hi Dave

Welcome to MadModder. I read your first post and thought, that doesn't sound like a newbie to me. Now I see this post and I know that your far from a newbie. Hope that you can find lots of interesting things on the board. I'm sure everyone will want to know about your steamboat. Enjoy.  :D :D

Cheers  :beer:
