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.
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.
