Hi all,
New here.
I dabble a little in metal working (Sherline size projects), as well as woodworking a bit.
I like to make my own tools, when time permits, or cost of buying dictates.
Anyway, this site caught my attention, and I'm looking forward to being here.

Hi rlnguy - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

What kind of tools do you like to make?

[rlnguy]

Over the years, I've build a couple wood lathes, bandsaw, thicknessing sander, and some tooling projects for my Sherline and Machinex 5 lathes. I spent a couple years in Australia, for my employer, and was limited on what I could take with, so I built my own tablesaw, bandsaw, and a few other "essential for my sanity" tools, while I was there.
Now I've kinda reached the point where I want to make things, and not just things that allow me to make other things-if you know what I mean.

Post some pics if you have any, we'd love to check out your work.

What would you like to build next?
