Hello from the state of beer and cheese otherwise known as Wisconsin.
I haven't been in the hobby in a long time but never really stopped buying kits.
I'm currently working on finishing up a room in my basement. So I can have a dedicated space to building again.
May be a slow start as we're expecting our first grandchild in a few months.
My interests are Auto, Armor and Syfy ( mostly Star Wars)
I look forward to meeting you all.
Brian

Thanks guys! I've been slowly buying stuff as I find deals lately. Picked up a new airbrush a few weeks ago. Last week I rebuilt a small portable air compressor for down in my room. It was given to me from a friend because it didn't build any air pressure. So I put a new crank, piston and seal kit in it. Now it's good enough for down in the basement.  |

Nice job Brian!!! Thanks! I seem to always have more projects than time. I work on a lot of small engines as a hobby also. I try to go to a couple chainsaw races a year. Here's one of my race saws and a few yard art project.      |

That dog is really cool!!! Mama is always saying I got to much junk laying around. So I made that dog for her and said it's not junk. It just needs to be made into something. 😉 |

Thanks. Here is a few more things I've built. The old Homelite is from the early 60's. I built it from the best parts of 3 saws. Then I blasted and powder coated the whole thing before rebuilding it. The press started out as a Harbor freight 20 ton. I added a lot of steel to stiffen it up and fully welded it. Then I made a removable fixture to mount a 4-way break press die.    |
