Guest YukonPlumber Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thanks for the warm welcome. As for hobbies I have a 22 month old son so he takes up a lot of my time but when I can I get out shooting/hunting/fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conductor562 Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I know how it goes YP. I figured out a long time ago that if I were going to do anything for leisure, I was going to have to make Conductor Jr. a part of it. I tried with the other 2 boys, but CJ is the only one dedicated enough to roam around in the shop all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kinkaid Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hello all I play Software Engineer for Big Oil by day, and DIY / Hobbyist when not working and raising 2 girls (or being "raised" by 3 if you include my wife.) My love for tools started with my Dad. He was a pipe-fitter, turned diesel automotive mechanic by trade. Thus i was always around big tools growing up...we almost never hired anyone. My dad's motto was "we can do it ourselves"...well until the jobs got really big. Now, times have changed. I do the "easy" stuff and hire out the rest.

Conductor562 Posted November 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Welcome Kinkaid. I hate to hire anything out and if I do, it's only to speed up the project. We're remodeling our 3rd home and if we've hired anything out (excluding HVAC) I don't remember it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astroboy Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 Hey Guys, Just to introduce myself. I'm from Toronto, Ontario and I work in theatre. I've been building sets for over 15 years and currently I work in Opera. I always feel like we're a bit of the "bastard child" of trades since our whole methodology goes against everything involved in building a house or a rocking chair. Anyway, I've been reading the tool reviews for a long while but recently decided to chime in on the forums! Thanks for a great site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicholasShetley Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hello everyone. My name is Nick and I am 17. I am working on becoming an auto mechanic. I am currently restoring a 1929 Ford model a pickup with my grandpa. I am interested in in older vehicles and going to car shows. I firmly believe in the philosophy do it right the first time. I also believe that you get what you pay for whether it be auto parts, tools, ect. For sockets and ratchets I use Napa or Craftsman. The rest is an assortment of different brands. For air tools I use Matco it Ingersoll Rand. If you want to know anything else feel free to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
