Just another new guy

[JimSeipel]

Hello, my name is Jim Seipel, and I live in Harper Kansas. I spent almost 30 years in the auto body / auto restoration field before moving into engineering. I am a self-taught fabricator, which means i have asked a lot of questions in my lifetime (trying to teach my kids to do the same thing).

I now work as an Engineering Tech / prototype builder. With access to a complete machine shop, I have built some metal working tools for myself. Recently, I rebuilt a Harbor Freight bead roller to make it a little more useful and durable.

My current after hours project is my English wheel, which I have started several times over the past 30 years. Searching for parts, plans, and ideas, I found this sight. I'm going to take a break from the build to look at what the rest of you are using.

So it looks like I'll still be asking a lot of questions!
