Hello from Alaska!

New member from Wasilla Alaska, retired mechanic, millwright, machinist. Life long tinkerer, knuckle buster and fabricator. I like making tools for my own use, especially when the specific tool is expensive or will only be used infrequently.

Hi wasillashack,

Welcome!

Sounds as though you've had an eclectic career based around varied interests. You're in good company here!

We'd love to see some of your homemade tools. Please share them by posting directly in the Homemade Tools subforum. We'll add each one to the database, as well as to your builder page on the site.

Non-tool items are also welcome and should be posted in the Not a Tool, but Homemade subforum.

Interesting you are from Clermont, I lived in Pensacola, Ft. Walton Beach and Destin, before moving to Alaska.

Small world, to be sure, though FL is a big place...

I lived up there for nearly 30 years. Anchorage and Peters creek.
I 'created' what I needed from scrap and local growth most of that time.
If I ever get back up there, we'll have coffee.
