			Greetings!  I was lead to this forum by a fellow that posted in Homemade Tools showing a very nice reciprocating hammer.  Am a retired person who enjoys working with basic materials and making something useful.  My interests center around fabrication of anything that goes on a race car, in my case sports cars both gas and electric powered.  I have a Lotus 7 replica that I am doing a drive train swap from a Kawasaki ZX9R to a Honda F20c from a S2000 roadster.  Am a self taught welder and fabricator having watched as many on-line videos and read many books by the people who are well regarded in the business.  Have gotten to the point where things I make are pleasing to the eye, but far from those made by true craftsmen.  My goal is to keep learning and improving for as long as I'm capable.  I work with young people in helping them learn the basics and more in these areas.  The rewards from that are amazing. Best to all, Barry
