From Tony's Facebook Page: Hey! I’ve picked up a fair amount of new followers and crested 25k so you get to see my dumb face, learn about my cherub-like demeanor, and get to know some things about me. I’m Tony, I’m a Scorpio, and I’m born, raised, and live in farm country in upstate NY. I, however, do not like Pina Coladas or getting caught in the rain. I have a wonderful and beautiful wife, am a stepfather to three amazing teens, as well as help oversee a menagerie of cats, dogs, and chickens. I work full time for a small ten-person machine shop that has its hands in many things. We mainly support the paper manufacturing industry, but we also work in packaging, medical, and basically anything that walks through the door. I program and run vertical, horizontal, and 5-axis CNC mills with the occasional manual lathe or mill job. The 5 axis is my daily driver where I focus on mainly machining small intricate parts. I’ve been a machinist for 25+ years, part of that time I worked as a millwright. I moonlight as a toolmaker and “run” Hillview Wood & Metal LLC. I’m extremely grateful to all of you and thank you for taking a second or two out of your day to look at what I’ve made, make a supportive comment, or even more, spend your hard-earned money on something I create in my cellar. I’m hoping to have a couple of new tools to add to the pile this year as well as my normal offerings, so follow along. & What Knot!
