By way of introduction let me say i joined this forum several months ago because of my interest in all things Armor. I am a retired machinist having worked for Caterpillar for over 35 yrs. I buy way more than I build and am in the process of remodeling my basement/man cave. Once I get everything back together I hope to pick up the pace in the building dept. I live in the Chicago area and am a member of AMPS. I'm 56 yrs. old happily married to a great wife who encourages my hobby and have 2 adult daughters, 1 adult son and 3 great grandkids. My name is Mark Mason and I come to this web-site forum for inspiration and to view others outstanding work.
