Default Hello from Ontario, Canada

Hi all,
My name is Ken, I'm a retired welder/fitter from Peterborough, Ontario, lived most of my working life in Toronto, worked as a fitter, custom metal fabricator.
Don't know what else to tell you, I'm into coppersmithing, machining, was involved in woodworking but got board after I made a few pieces of furniture, or after the wife begged me not bring any more furniture in the house because she was running out of a place to put them lol.
So now I do some machining as a hobby as well as stained glass and coppersmithing (making copper light fixtures), do it all to get busy(get the creative juices flowing) and to occupy my mind.

Found this place by accident while searching for a new way to do wired edging on thin sheet metal.

Have many questions and hope the mods here can soon let their guards down and allow me to navigate the forums /read a few thing and get to know this place but I do understand the need to be cautious with new members and spammers.
See you all soon .
Ken.

Welcome Ken. You're in the right place.

I had a friend in Ontario from us. He operated and owned limousine service. I recently discovered that he had already died.
