[QUOTE="Ranchero50, post: 358030, member: 1523"] I'm an industrial mechanic, basically a do all keeping the machine running. I fix big printing presses, been doing that for the last ten years in a 1.2M square foot plant off I-81. I'm the left handed kid who played with Lego's and took his Tonka trucks apart. Spent a lot of time with the Radio Shack do-it-yourself wiring kits, Ended up in the Navy as an Electronics Tech. Conveyed those troubleshooting skills into mechanical troubleshooting, specialize in logical troubleshooting and failure analysis (which I love to do). No formal education other than high school and the Navy stuff but I can still dismay or embarrass the educated when they are wrong. I'm a tinker at heart so I'm always into something, either tractors, trucks / cars, boats or tools. I have a CNC mill in my garage, as well as a older Logan metal lathe and a couple of welders. I'm also a scrounger and spend a lot of time making cool things out of the stuff I find. My jet boat is a prime example. I also am about 90% done my '71 F-350 with a Cummins conversion, everything either scrounged or fabricated by me. I'm the guy the neighbor hood kids and adults come to when 'whatever' breaks. I abhor catalog people, you know, those guys who throw money at catalog and buys a bunch of crap and call it a hot rod. I love this site because pretty much everyone does something a little different to their boats and each build shows the soul of it's creator. [/QUOTE]
