I am a metalworker, engineer, product designer, student, guy with shop. I'm thrilled to be able to open the virtual doors to my shop and teach people about what I'm doing, share tips, weird anecdotes that pop in to my brain and give y'all a window in to a unique environment.

I'm a Manufacturing Engineer and this is my shop. My family makes bean to bar chocolate and I make a lot of custom equipment for the chocolate making industry as well as machining involved in maintaining said equipment. I also make just *stuff* as it comes up. I weld, I machine, I design, I engineer, I make a lot of scrap and garbage that makes me chuckle.

Am I Any Good?

Panel Content
No, not really. But feel free to check out my Twitter to see progress pictures and final photos of my last two blades. My Instagram has (slightly) more polished photos of my machining and blades, but I try to post to both.

What Am I Using?

A lot of stuff. The most common things of interest: Forge - I did not make it. It's a Majestic 3-Burner. Anvil - Emerson 100 w/ turning cams Welder - Everlast 255 EXT TIG Vulcan something or other. It's MIG. It works. Vipercut 30i and a Langmuir Crossfire CNC Plasma table Grinder - KMG 2 x 72 Mill - Precision Matthews PM940M Lathe - Precision Matthews PM1340GT Blast Cabinet - It's from Northern Tools. Compressor - Ingersoll Rand SS5L5 Band Saw - PMI (Rex Supply import) 7x12 horizontal/vertical 1HP If you see something else you're interested in, just ask! I love talking about equipment.

When Do I Do This?

Very rarely right now, unfortunately. But if I do go plan to stream, I'll try to give a reasonable warning. Maybe if this works out, I'll try to be more consistent. Mondays around noon CST tend to work well for me.

Please do not feel compelled or required to donate. I have plans for this in the future.Until then, anything that is given will go directly into polishing the shop up and keeping the forge burning, the grinder grinding and for materials for things I make on stream for fun.
