    New to the forum.

    Hello, my name is Bradley Campbell. I’m a 29 year old industrial maintenance technician (school)for a company that produces welded steel tube and also a machinist (apprenticeship). I love metal and metal working and drag racing. I have also developed a passion for making my own tools. I haven’t made very many yet though, only a 4”x7” square out of d2 and what is pretty much a custom oversized gauge block for use in rebuilding cutting dies.

    I’m not real sure. I’ve been thinking about a surface plate for precision tig welding, with drilled and tapped holes to set up jigs with, or some Kant twist style c clamps. I’ve also found several cool ideas on here already.
