First of all, my job and my hobbies are mostly the same. I am an experienced millwright, fabricator, machinist, mechanic, and carpenter. The only things I have ever hired out are auto front end alignment, and body and paint, as I don't enjoy hand sanding. I do everything else from rebuild my automatic transmissions to building computers or kithen cabinets. In my job, I am the sole mechanical support for a small manufacturing company of heated handheld tools. I have to do mechanical repair, machining, tool and die, woodwork, prototype development, HVAC, electrical, and anything else to keep the place going. I have a part time helper for facilities maintenance. I am an old school machinist, no DRO, use lantern style toolposts and hand grind tool bits, but have exposure at work to CNC lathes and high speed CNC engravers in the production departments. I believe strongly in sharing knowledge and helping others to learn new things. My motto is " It's always easier to find a reason NOT to do something"
