Hi to the gang!
New guy here looking over the forum and salivating :big:
I'm Jonathan Bumstead.. Dagwood to some, Metalshaper to others.
My main thing is a bit off from this group. I build black powder rifles and such in my shop. Mule ear and Underhammers mostly. Started out with nothing more than an idea, a baby drill press/bits, hacksaws,files and some chisels.. Now I have a X2 mill, 109 Craftman 6X12, a couple of sanders, saws.. Oh and more files and chisels!! I've blacksmithed and made a few knives, and have started to expand my maching interest. Learning to get the best effort I can from my mill and lathe are a goal of mine!!
and with that idea,, The old Hit and Miss engines are a strange fascination for me. My wife hates whenever I spot one, cause I can stare at it and watch it run for a LONG time! I've always wanted to make one and learn how/what makes them run!!
I've made a few do-dads here and there.. My Bud and I came up with this lil saw stand, to help out in my shop.
