About Opies Home Shop

My Adventures with a Home Machine Shop.

I'm a retired ASE Certified Auto Mechanic. I'm not a machinist so I'm figuring this out as I go. Former soldier, 19 Echo, Armor crewman, M60 MBT's.

Opie is my real nick name given to me as a child because I looked like little Opie from mayberry. I was called Opie against my will well into my adulthood. Now days there is no resemblance.

"For if Men are to be precluded from offering their Sentiments on a matter, which may involve the most serious and alarming consequences, that can invite the consideration of Mankind, reason is of no use to us; the freedom of Speech may be taken away, &, dumb & silent we may be led, like sheep, to the Slaughter."
George Washington.
