Default Hello

Hello,
I am from NW PA. My metal working hobby is a means to an end...that end being the restoration of a 1920's craftsman style foursquare home. In order to keep the house "original" in its restoration (copper built-in gutters, downspouts, flat seam roof, etc) I realized I had 2 choices...win the lottery or get the tools i needed, get all the info/references I can and practice/practice/practice. I also have taken the same approach with the plumbing, woodwork/carpentry, etc. So far so good but still along way to go. Along the way I have picked up other hobbies such as woodworking, antique phone and appliance restoration, and old machinery (both woodworking and metalworking/sheetmetal) restoration. Again, all of this as a means to an end...restoring my home.

I look forward to being a part of this forum.

MILO
