Been around machines since I can remember, worked as a machinist for 39+ years.
Now I'm self employed in a different line of work, but still consider myself a machinist, mostly because it was born and breed in me.

Over the years I've been called a lot of things. The first and most prevalent is AS**OLE. The terms go from A to Z, but somehow machinist has never been included in the mix. I don't know why, but the term 'Maker" has always raised the hair on the back of my neck. For some reason it's a term I detest.
