Fab It Weld it, build it make it.Get off the couch and get your family involved. This is one step to "making things great again". Hello everyone, new to this site, and I'm not trying to put down just trying to motivate. I don't post, rather, I have never posted to a site, ever. But I had a cord struck in me last night after looking at my first grand child who is 6mo. old, and I thought where may her generation be, if our generation and her fathers generation cant resurrect the trade crafts. Just food for thought. Thanks for the opportunity.

Hi BIG EARLE - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you'll fit in well here. Making something great is hard, but making something great again is even harder.

You're absolutely right, we're going to have a huge knowledge drain in this world as our most technically proficient people "age out". Forums like this also act as informational archives, and if there's one thing that young people know how to do, it's finding things on the internet.

What tools would you like to build? Click the "Reply to Thread" button below to let me know, and I'll post some relevant links for you.

Thank you. I am in to all thing but especially steel fabrication tools, brakes, sheers and so on. But I'm also a fan wood and metal furniture. Like I said my interest have no bounds.
