I am very passionate about all kinds of metal working. For me it combines all the stuff my mind really needs and loves like problem solving, creating and building something useful, sometimes also useless, but then it was fun at least ;-)
Growing up in a wood working environment I developed a fascination for machines and was often more passionate about the machines used rather than the wood working itself. Slowly but surely I converted to the darker (or shinier?) side of metal working.
I am a self tought hobby machinist in the mid 30s and IĀ“ve learned a lot from you guys on youtube.
A lot of my machines are older industrial machines that I often bought damaged or worn and brought them back to life. Understanding how old machines work and the appreciation for āthe good old timesā is a big factor for me and still amazes me every day.
I also like RC models, playing around with my 3D printer or my CNC mill.
