Greetings from the frozen wastelands of Manitoba in the middle of the prairie winter!

Hi Howder1951,

Welcome!

Sounds cold up there! Hello from sunny (if not quite so warm as usual) Orlando!

What sort of homemade tools do you like best?

Ken

Hi KB, I presently have a few projects on the back burners right now. I am trying a few grinder rest designs ala Harold Hall. One is a general rest and another is the simple end mill sharpening guide. I also have a frame made up for a belt grinder, I'll get started on wheels and rests in the spring when its a bit nicer. In true amateur style I like to see if I can make it rather than buy it.
Right now some of my favourite builds are small vises like instrument makers tools and the like.

Presently I am just finishing a finger plate "mark 1" I am experimenting with some finishing techniques and modifying the design ( to fit my scrap box).
Winter is good for some things!
