Hello to all. My name is Dave. I am currently a machinist in a shop where we build dam gate lifting machinery, and moveable bridges for roads and railroads. I have been a job shop machinist for 40 something years, full retirement age is very close, in spite of my profile birth date (I lied). At home, I have 9x20 and 7x12 lathes, from Harbor Fright. Also a taiwan round column mill drill, rf-45 clone.
I was a member here in 2008, (Davyboy), winner of the first Engine of The Month, Treadle Engine Fred, something I am very proud of. I've made a few more treadle toys, and some wobblers, nothing recently. I take them to the steam shows for exhibit and fun, done this 4 or 5 times. My toys are there for kids of all ages to play with. I've met some very fine people there.
Please forgive me, I'm not much of a cheerleader or prolific poster, but I sure love to look at the wonderful work of the crafstsmen here.
