Ridjobradi (Red Beard) introduction

[Ridjobradi]

Hello everyone.  I have been a lurker on this site for a while and have been lurking / somewhat active on a few other forums over the years.  I haven't built any engines, but I have tinkered with making tooling and replacement parts.  I started completing my shop several years ago, but I then went overseas for work and everything was put on hold.  I have been getting my machines setup and ready to use.

I really enjoy reading your build logs.  I expect that most of my first projects will be more tooling.  I want to work my way through the G. H. Thomas workshop projects and casting sets.  The pillar tool has been a goal of mine for many years.

Welcome to MEM Red Beard!

Please think about posting a build log on your UPT when you get going on it.

Welcome Red Beard to the forum! You will love building the UPT I have also built one a few years back and have used it ever since. You will enjoy building it and do post you progression when you start.

Thank you Dave, b.lindsey, and Don1966.  I look forward to the opportunity to share in such an amazing venue. 

Dave - the 1867 build is amazing.  Thanks for team effort involved in posting such detailed work.

Don - I read your pillar build all the way through,  a while back.  Great looking build and thanks for the time and effort involving posting the build.
