    Hey!

    New to the forum, looking forward to learning and laughs.
    I'm into saving old (1950's or earlier) woodworking and metalworking machines.
    Some will get a complete rebuild, others just fixed and put into use.
    Copper, brass, and aluminum in that order are what I look for.
    Have not gotten into the e-scrap yet.

    Welcome to the forum.

    I like idea of you restoring the old tools! I have a nice band saw that is from the 1940's.

    Good luck,

    welcome scrappin....I love old machinery and tools also...don't have the skills you do to restore....I just "admire" them. Glad you joined us, maybe you can learn some tips that will be useful to you and teach us a thing or two also.
