Out of the shadows
« on: August 06, 2014, 07:36:15 PM »
Hello, I've been lurking for quite awhile now and I should at least introduce myself, I live in the Fox Cities area of Wisconsin. I have been interested in the restoration and general use of older  American made tools for about 15 or so years. I also enjoy restoring items from my past, i.e. tube radios Rotary telephones old cameras , Basically anything that was once held dear that is now disposable.  I am fortunate to be able to find a good supply of this stuff up here and have pretty good results so far. The summer months are spent de-rusting tools outside in my electrolysis tank and the long winter months find me inside fixing up other stuff. I hope to retire in a few years and do this full time.
I've been getting a lot of great info from this forum and hope to contribute more in the future,
