Greetings! I was lead to this forum by a fellow that posted in Homemade Tools showing a very nice reciprocating hammer. Am a retired person who enjoys working with basic materials and making something useful. My interests center around fabrication of anything that goes on a race car, in my case sports cars both gas and electric powered. I have a Lotus 7 replica that I am doing a drive train swap from a Kawasaki ZX9R to a Honda F20c from a S2000 roadster. Am a self taught welder and fabricator having watched as many on-line videos and read many books by the people who are well regarded in the business. Have gotten to the point where things I make are pleasing to the eye, but far from those made by true craftsmen. My goal is to keep learning and improving for as long as I'm capable. I work with young people in helping them learn the basics and more in these areas. The rewards from that are amazing.

Best to all,
Barry
