New to the forum from Utah. I am a mechanical engineer that drives Komatsu 930E-4SE haul truck for a living. I tinker in my garage metal working and wood working. I sell stuff in my etsy shop solely to pay for more supplies. Its a vicious cycle.

Welcome from NC Lewis! Holy crap man, that Komatsu is a piece of mechanical engineering itself!
Look forward to seeing some of your work. If you don't mind, what Etsy shop?

I was trying to add it to my signature line but can't figure that one out. Anything I make can be bartered with in trade for wood as that is basically all I do with it any ways.

I built my own propane forge with a weed burner and furnace bricks, it doesn't get hot enough to do any real forging, just minor texturing and some button making. I use a rail road track piece for an anvil. This rosewood bread knife picture shows my anvil.
Here is a sconce I made.
Hard maple newel post cap I made.

I find the coco bolo and maple pen I made for my wife, built it out of scraps I had lying around. Got lucky they were the same our near same thicknesses since I literally picked them up off floor and glued it together.
