Hello,
I'm new here, but not to hobbyist metalworking.
I completed the Algonquin college Toolmaking program and worked in the trade for a few years, but have since pivoted and changed career.
My dad has always been into repairing and building things since growing up on a farm, which rubbed off on me. I still mostly work out of his garage/workshop since I don't have a garage or really appropriate space at my house.
Over the years between my dad and I we have acquired a Craftex metal lathe, JET millling machine, Miller MIG and Everlast TIG welders, and are always trying to build capacity in what we can do in the shop. His shop is a bit like the TARDIS from Dr.Who, seemingly infinite tools packed into a 2 car garage.
I'm here to check out what others are up to and share what experience I can.
