Quite a few of us are IT ... Odd that. Welcome to the forum. Any relation to the publisher, if that's not an annoying question?

Welcome Tom, I'm a retired machinist with the same equipment in my garage. Looking forward to meeting you some time.

Hey Tom welcome! What kind of stuff were you thinking you would make when you set up your machining shed. Sounds awesome.

Hi all
No relation to the publisher (might have a bigger shed if I were

)
I am a target shooter so may eventually make stuff related to that.
Also have some things on the honey do list

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome.

I find there are two lists in my life that never get shorter. My tool shopping list, and my honey-do list.

Maybe it depends on if you can see yourself using it at least once I'm happy then!
