Hello everyone - I live in the Dayton OH area, and am a long-time car and motorcycle enthusiast.
As I'm sure many of you will attest - sometimes the tools and workspace themselves become the focus rather than the original projects that started us down this road.
For example - a couple years ago I invested some money in upgrading a building that was unheated; I created a self-contained room within that building that has 6" walls and a dropped ceiling with R9 insulation; I can now work in that space comfortably year-round even if it has no permanent furnace solution (I use an indsutrial torpedo heater to raise the temps when I start a work session, then roll that unit out via the overhead door and maintain the temps with a free-standing kerosene heater.
One last thing - I'd love to start a regular meeting of folks in this area who would like to get together and discuss fabrication techniques. I'd be happy to be the organizer and setup a spot for us to meet, so if you are a Daytonite and are interested please reach out to me via e-mail and I will reply.
Thanks everyone!
