Anyone live in North Florida or South Georgia?

 

Hello Guys,
?
Does anyone live in North Florida or South Georgia in the group?
?
The past 15 years we have been in the South and away from friends and family where I grew up and worked in Western NY. Haven’t found anyone with similar interests close by.?

We live 20 minutes South of Thomasville, GA in North Florida.
?
Been tired of talking to myself and our dogs for awhile now. Anyone close?
?
Regards,
Mike
 

Mike,
A few years back I lived in Bradfordville area off US319 and probably would have been close enough to drop by and chat over chips with you, but in 2010 I moved to northeast Georgia. Well Georgia is kinda odd shaped, I’m near the southern northeast corner. I wish I knew of another hobbiest close by.?

Hi Bill,

Yes, we would have been neighbors. That’s interesting.?

Thanks for replying. Seems I am not the only one who would love to find like minded people interested in machining and model engineering.

Regards,
Mike

Just an idea, you have Keith Rucker of Vintage Machinery fame in Tifton, GA

I know claiming to "know" someone from watching his videos is naive at best, but he seems to be a decent guy and he often has viewers help him in his restoration of old machines. You might want to try contacting him and see where it goes from there. He's certainly close enough to you.

Good luck

Regards

Vedran

Thank you Vedran!

I didn’t know that Keith Rucker was in Tifton, Georgia. Thought he was in the Carolinas. B That is great to know as it is only 75 miles from our place.?

We actually drive through Tifton quite often when we drive to Western NY to visit family. That is where the I-75 interchange is after driving through Georgia backroads.?

Have followed Keith Rucker on YouTube and his Vintage Machinery website is a real treasure.

Adam Booth is a few hours west in Pensacola, Florida. Was hoping to meet him during a Richard King scraping class a few years ago, but it didn’t happen due to COVID.

Vedran, you may be the best Moderator of all time. So knowledgeable in so many areas. You help everyone that you can.?

So much respect for you Sir!

Kind regards,
Mike

Glad to help... not a moderator though. Not angling to become one either :)
