-Hi,

-I'm Jelly or Joshua [Kelly], if you prefer.
-I'm an Industrial Chemist working in Hazardous Waste Management, so if you ever want guidance on what chemicals do, I'm likely to have a cogent answer for you... Or possibly quite a complex non-comittal answer, it depends how much I know about your intended purpose for them really.

-I used to work in a sawmill and in a joiners shop before I went to university, as a result I know a reasonable amount about woodwork, wood machining, setting/fettling machines and sharpening saw blades.

-I'm slowly becoming versed in a variety of machining operations, heat treatment, metal punching and pattern-making. That all came out of a plan to make my own saw blades using a fly-press, which snowballed.
