    First timer

    Hi,
    I just move into a retirement village ad sold all my machinery and thought I will never use it again but low and behold here I am and started an all sharpening shop again. My homemade flat honing machine is nearing completion and has lots more homemade tools in mind.
    I don’t know why but still have a serious itch for the DIY but who knows it might go away when I am a 100yrs old
    You’re sincerely
    Hennie

    Good to hear you couldn't give up DIY work! Post some pics of the honing machine if you have any, I'm sure people would like to take a look.

    Hi Hennie,

    Welcome!

    Glad to hear that you're keeping busy. I've known guys still flying their own airplanes at 100, so I'm sure you'll be at it yet in the shop!

    What are you planning to build after the honing machine?
