Hello all craftspersons.
Name is Mark and I have been viewing this site for some time.
I'm a retired engineer who wants to build a long case clock, raise some chickens, turn some steel into something useful, visit the grandchildren and find some time for hobbies.
I suffer from the curse of the engineer----"if something is broken you've got to fix it, regardless of cost or time".
