Hello from Pennsylvania

[Bill_Hopper]

New member here from Clarion PA. No history of machinists in my family, the closest is a far out relative of my grandfathers that does woodworking (made a beautiful dining table and chair set for my wife and I for our wedding present). I have been operating a wood carving cnc for a few years now, making trinkets and toys, but have recently purchased a small lathe and milling machine. This was motivated by my position as a maintenance technician, making my own tools and fabricating obsolete/hard to find repair parts.

I had to learn from scratch.
It took and while, and I am still learning, but making great strides.

Welcome.
Good luck.
