    Hi all, I've been lurking in the background of TW for a couple years for a few... never saw a need to make an account to ask questions because someone else generally has asked it. never needed an account to answer someone's question because I never felt that my knowledge was deep enough to throw in for a answer and I definitely didn't want to give bad information. After these few years of working on my truck I think there have been instances that could have helped other newbies like myself. Ima try to post photos and maybe answer some questions if needed

    Yes and No. I was a machinist for the bulk of my career, now I'm a development project manager, but i do still hop on a mill every now and then to make my own stuff.
