New boy says hello

[Dr Stan]

Before I overhauled my mill all I had was a horizontal band saw and a drill press. If I hadn't had my combo square set I would have really been up the creek without a paddle, let alone a canoe. Each of us will approach projects differently, but I consider layout and hand work very important as it was the first 2 week phase of the US Navy's 12 week long MR School. I still have the drill pointer gauge I hand made as the first project, using a combo square, a scribe, a drill press, and a file.
