My Intro to the Journal

[savageofjack]

Greetings to All; This is my very first post.
This is the Savage of Jack, Clyde if you prefer. Thought I'd take a moment to tell everybody a little about me. I'm a viet nam vet, almost 68 yrs. young. I and my very much better half live on a small hobby farm in N. central Mn. We raise a few angora goats. She hand spins, knits, and is into weaving quite a bit. I am into mostly vintage woodworking machines, building and making all kinds of things out of wood. we have 2 older tractors, and a small bulldozer, and we love to garden. I am a retired heavy equipment and machinery hauler. I am present ly looking for a metal lathe to use in my shop to help restore my older machines. Looking forward to sharing ideas and learning. Thank you for reading, Jack

Welcome,

And since you admit you like vintage wood working machines and then say you want a lathe ... Stay here and you will start collecting vintage metal working machines too :}

Welcome. You will start discovering you need the strangest, obscure stuff if you hang here enough. It's all good.
