northwest wisconsin

Post by davidh »

i have no idea how i got here but, here i be. . .
davidh is handle, Maple Wisconsin, 7 miles south of the south shore of beautiful lake superior, 25 miles east of where it starts. its been my home area for 70 plus years. ya, im an old fart.

i have hobbies coming out of my ears, metal work, machine work, upholestry work, auto restoration and painting, woodworking, etc. the same kind of things that many of you folks are familar with. of course casting has got me for the moment. i've been dabbling with it for 10 or more years.

i have a mechanical backround, and owned and operated a 2 person tool repair shop for the past 27 years with sales and service at home based shop with wife as co-owner & repair person also, and now kinda trying to finally find time to do some of the things that have interested me when i have not had time to pursue.

i have a couple old Hudson cars im in process of restoring, and im finding that i perfer casting and being creative to working on the cars.

im a cancer survivor, and heart bypass survivor and am finding that getting old ain't for sissys as someone on another forum sez. we tend to slow down a tad but keep on keeping on.

i will gladly add my 2 cents to topics that i know something about and sometimes even if i don't. i inhereted a semi smartass comment thing from my father and my wife sez after 2 beers my mouth could really get me in trouble and embarrass the hell out of her. . . so im limited to the Killian's to 2 a day.

im looking forward to reading all the posts that come up, and pictures will be offered as they are taken. . . i enjoy email and the computer way too much. . . . 8-)

Well theres' the problem right there! Why go for TWO Killians when ONE Bulmers can do it for you! :shock:

Seriously- I am a noob here too- just thought I would say hello while I was surfing the old posts! Hope to know more about you as the time passes!

Are your castings mainly for the cars restoration projects or are they fun and art?

Be safe and welcome!

"Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first. This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
-Cliff Clavin, of Cheers

"I do not drink more than a sponge."
-Rabelais, 17th-century French satirist
