Hi guys,
Just joined, but I have been buying tools since I was about 8 years old. My Dad started me buying 1 everytime we went to get a car part. He told me you can never have too many. I am a forklift tech, and also a trainer for forklifts. My home shop has a lathe, end mill, couple welders, sand blaster, grinders, saws, well you get the idea.

I used to be a certified welder, and welded on nuclear reactors, and high pressure steam lines. I also restore old military vehicles. I've owned a WW2 Stuart tank, and have 2 halftracks, and a 57mm anti-tank gun now. All 3 need to be restored.

I'm 58 and just about worn out. But the less you do, the less you are able to do. So I keep at it.

Looks like alot of good info to be had here.

Thanks for having it...:thumbup:

Welcome to the GJ!

You have an interesting hobby for sure, restoring old military vehicles!
I had to be re-certified on a forklift every 5 years, when I worked on the RR.
