    Hey everyone. I posted in the wrong place. My bad.

    Anyway, Im a new business here. Im a 1 man team that works on the side in my garage for my business. My son will be born shortly. Hopefully i can get him to help me out with the business. 

    Im out of round lake, Illinois. And have been making custom ignition keys, keychains and license plate bolts for about 2 years now. Its a fun side job. You get to meet a lot of new people. I love going to swap meets. 

    Ive taken a look around the site a bit, and i like this site. Everyone seems nice. its comfortable.  

    HOWDY EVERYONE!
