    I am a 45 year old who started in a machine shop when I was 14. Since that time I have worked in several shops where I often have to make my own tooling fixtures and devices.

    I currently work in manufacturing electrical circuit boards. My most encountered issues are with work holding of small parts, or producing odd cuts in tight areas. Both are hard to do.

    Welcome!

    What sort of homemade tools do you like to make and/or use? Are you working on anything at the moment?
