SELF INTRODUCTION: Hello, I have love building mechanical things. My dad was always building, and welding a vast range of projects throughout my childhood. Somethings I build just to try something new I read about, somethings just because they are way to cool not to build one...or two ;) I do industrial automation for a living, and as such have a major background in electrical . I look forward to learning lots on your wonderful site, and contributing as much as I can to the forums, and the site if I have anything of use for it along the way.

Regards,

Will

SELF INTRODUCTION: I was on the last board as bonustoolkit. I have changed that to my given name.
I started a project build there " File and Fit." I paln to continue that when I go back home in Dec. 2011. I first joined the board when Gary W had it in the year 2005. That was the time I really gained an interest in building chops. I have a long way to go, compared to some here.

I just scanned through "girders". There may be more on this.

SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

Best, Bob Davidson
Location: Alaska

I've always loved the looks of girder forks over other designs, but never realized the mechanical advantages.
Thanks for the post, I'll have to give that more study.
