Best aircraft I've ever worked? F-15 A/B/C/D/E The coolest one of those? An F-15 C/ASAT with 229 engines owned by Edwards. The damn thing came in with a bubbled windscreen. It was wrote up because the pilot left the rain/ice blower on. MY ASS. Last I heard that bird is mothballed now

Strengths would be gunsmithing, metalworking milling/turning/EDMing, and CAD/CAM engineering.
I also can do carpentry, outdoor plumbing, auto mechanics, ammo reloading, and a small list of other things that I normally don't do anymore. |

I've done remodeling for the last 5 years or so, finish carpentry since I was a teenager, and have made furniture since before that. I currently do most of my work in the American Federal Period, but do other styles as time and needs permit. I do most, if not all, of the critical work by hand and do the rough milling and processing of boards with machines.

Computer networking technician by trade but i hate it
A+ cert Cisco CCNP, Security analyst and intrusion specialist (fancy name for legal hacker), Data network tech dealing with hardware aspect, C++ and a few other certs but i hate my cushy job tbh. in my area no one will hire me because id want to much money  (over qualified) so I've decided to go back for my hobby a computer geek by day welder and sprint car enthusiast by night.
going back for my welding cert I've been welding since about 10-11 i think something like that only type of welding i cant do is tig welding and that's just because I've never had anyone teach me or have a tig welder, ill weld anything i can typically touch. instructor is gonna have me help teach the programming side of robotic welding, i sat in 1 class and could understand the program that little robot used to do everything, but i wonder if i could program it to make coffee....  class project.

Used to be a framing contractor til the residential market died on '06. Joined the Carpenter's Union and have been doing commercial concrete formwork mostly since then. Currently working for a company that specializes in concrete decks ( high rises and parking garages), but I've done plenty of walls and columns and a year and a half at a mostly undergound power plant rebuild that involved a lot of unusual situations and pallets of Hilti epoxy and a 100 tons of threaded rod to attach our formwork to the bedrock.
