Why Did You Choose Your Username And Avatar?

My avatar is a part I made . In a 1 inch cube is a 7/8 ball with a 5/8 inch ball onside the 7/8 ball then there is a 3/8 ball onside the 5/8 ball. Then I use my full name with no space between first and last name. All tools were hand ground and lapped by me.

One of my favorite amps is my 22 Cal Mesa , it's a great recording amp and can be heard on alot of 80's/90's albums you'd know ... Great amp but the channel switching was always a problem live. Then in the early 90's they came out with the Subway Rocket . It's basically two independent 22 Cal amps that go into the same power section (two EL84's) and independent control/switching. I've had so many amps thru the years but I always loved it's sound . Unless you wana lug a 70 pound Mesa Mark IIc , this amp will get you pretty much any sound from Led Zep , Sabbath, Stones, RATM, Pink Floyd, anything 70's/80's/90's and more . Avatar is a decal I like, I was Army 1987-94 , 52 Delta .

I've been a general contractor for 32 years. Back in the 90's one of my framing carpenters pinned the name J-Bolt on me and it stuck. All my frame & trim crews and subcontractors called me that up until I retired form building. I do consulting work now and the general population doesn't get it so I went back to my given name Jay. Now I use the name on forums like these.
 
I didn't pick mine, I was under another name and the site glitched and deleted me, then the Admin gave me a new name on here! I quite like it, beats Corus or Tata steel...

Dave H. (the other one, formerly Hopefuldave)
 
On most of the other forums I use my real name, Don Bunce, but since monikers were much more common here, I chose Ben Nevis, which is the tallest mountain in Scotland. Loosely translated, it means " the old man with his head in the clouds".

My wife thinks that's an appropriate moniker.....

Haven't got around to an avatar yet.
 
The Photo was taken by a friend of mine just after I finished restoring an Atlas drill press with a Commander tapping head.
My user name is a compound of my first name "Eddy" and the beginning of my family name "de Laurot"
