Hello from Tennessee

Post by Harley jim »

My name is Jim and I enjoy fabricating it is a full time job for me even tho I am retired. I like a challenging project and enjoy seeing it to completion. I am here to learn and will probably ask too many of the wrong questions too many times. Thank you for letting me be a part of this forum.

Welcome aboard, Jim!
For some of us builders, our stills are never completed because we keep tinkering with them.

Enjoy the build!

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I found this site by chance and after reading for a couple of days I'm glad I did. I intend to keep reading and learning there are a lot of terms and abbreviations that I'm not familiar with and would like to be able to ask questions in an intelligent manner. Again thank you, Jim.

Welcome from East Tn. Rule of thumb on questions ask the Google search feature first. Everyone is very helpful, but some questions are very repetitive.

The lingo can be a bit confusing at the beginning but you will learn it soon enough. I remember the information overload when I first started out. :crazy:
