another new guy

[millwrong]

Greetings from the frozen Canadian prairies! I'm a millwright by trade, also did a stint as a motor rewinder/controls guy. These days I mostly hang out in my basement shop, and make endless tooling for the projects that I can't remember what the original tooling was for! Chips ahoy! :-X

Welcome, welcome. Love the basement shop, got one of my own. So tooling huh? Lets see some pictures of it. ;D I kinda have a tooling fetish (as do others here, just look at mklotz's fan club).

Ahh, I hate making tooling. Keeps me from making engines!

Truth be told, I wish I had the patience to make the odd handy tool. It would save so much time in the long run, and I wouldn't need to do it twice all the time.

Welcome to the board!

Welcome to the board. I know all about the frozen Canadian prairies. I was shoveling snow on Tuesday in -44 in Leduc Alberta. I really appreciate my basement shop. I can't afford to heat my garage with an 8 x 16 door that has to open on occasion.

More snow to shovel today but it has warmed up to -30! Let us know what you are making.

I'm the same way.. except once I make a tool instead of whatever make-do hack I'd been using I usually then think "why didn't I make one of these years ago?" :-\

Welcome to the board... nice to see another canuck! You and Stan should come on east to Montreal. It's a balmy -20 (including wind chill) so you could wear your summer stuff. Bring you shovel Stan, supposed to get up to a foot of the white stuff tomorrow.

Hi MillWrong,

Welcome to board. I like your moniker! Ahhh, tooling... how about those times when your current project needs a tool, that needs another tool, that needs another tool... ???

joe d:I moved from the Montreal area in 1950 and still have a few relatives there. I will give you a call if I ever get there again but I won't be bringing a snow shovel.
