Hi from east texas.

Hello Charles - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Sounds like you have a strong skill set - what's next up on your build list?

So to speak as far as skills other than stated, shipbuilding, instrumentation, oil patch production equipment, electromechanical equipment, trailer mounted gen sets motor, engine and turbine driven amongst other stuff that aircraft could be serviced and repaired without running the main engines.

Have possibly worked over time most skills that require a brain and hands on the technical side of getting into the trenches doing the work needed in the trades.

One self rule that I had was what ever job I had , I would put myself to school learning everything I could to try and master it.

Best foundation starting was working in a machine shop when still in school, then my air force training on AGE equipment, that provided a mechanical foundation. Also got my first amateur license at age 13 and learning electronics by helping my grandfather in the early 60's back in the days of dead bug wiring and tubes.

Not much is on the horizon, at this stage of life I am rapidly slipping into being totally retarded ! ;D

And really do not have many projects on my current to-do list anymore, but I still like to see what others come up with as far as solutions to given problems that occur for others.

Said by a semi old fart in training !

;D

I have been accused of being sorta wordy sometimes !
