I'm Joseph R. Bauer, Joe Bauer to my friends. I'm from Eastern Connecticut, USA. My main interests are computer programming, astronomy and metalworking. My spare time is sparse, but I do manage to work on projects and update these pages when I can.

I hope to keep up to date on the various projects I have in mind. The current projects include; EQ6 mount using LXD55 motors, restoring a 1949 Craftsman 109.21270 6" lathe, building an observatory, quick-change-toolpost improvements.

• metalworking - lathe topics and projects
• beans - espresso and coffee bean related topics
  • La San Marco 85-16M-2 restoration
