Hello from Calgary

[CalgaryPT]

I have a small residential metal shop in NW Calgary (Tuscany), mostly as a hobby, but I do some paid work. MIG, TIG, stick, CNC plasma cutting, hydraulic bending, ring and tube rolling, magnetic brake, slip roll, some lathe and small millwork (but am not very good at this stuff as it is too finicky for me). Mostly I focus on small artistic stuff and inventing. (Also a electronics geek-- Arduino, etc).

Welcome to the forum!

Must be quite the shop to get all that done!

Looking forward to having you around.

Thanks. It's a great shop....my wife has me on a 12 Step Program (for tools). I think I could build a battleship if needed....I just have no where to put it.

Cheers.

Cool. Look forward to seeing your projects. I'm not ready for ToolAholics. I really don't think I have a problem. Wait, isn't that's step#1?

HA Ha.. Just saw this. I believe you mean a bigger garage with a smaller house, right?

 

[Tom Kitta]

Yeah, much bigger garage. I am now building a little steel forest to make it appear like I am not having scarp in the backyard. No idea where to put the large band saw I need. Maybe outside in front of the garage.
