    Smile Newb - short time member, long time tinkerer

    I've always been one to take apart and reassemble anything I could just to see how it works, or if I could make one. Add to that, my grandfather was an avid carpenter in his wood shop, my father was a gear-head with a full shop, and I spent several years in residential and commercial construction. So I have seen and been inspired by handmade hand-tools, tool mods, and jigs of all sorts.

    Now that my work days are spent in an office I have the time and energy to put my mechanical inclinations into hobbies and projects. So I am excited to have found this forum.
