Well let's see, I work on almost everything imaginable, from locks, to small engines, to restoring an old lathe, to computers, electronics, I cut, weld, and do home improvement projects. I shoot, reload ammo, and tinker with firearms as well.

The fun thing I do is auctioneer part-time. I see and have seen some rather bizarre tools and homemade stuff and sold a lot of it.

I have always loved tools, and the bigger, heavier, bulkier it is and the more steel the better for me. My Dad has been an antique dealer for over 50 years. Dad was a mechanic, millwright, welder and restored old cars and antiques for the past 50 years so I have seen some really weird tools and stuff there as well..

I spent 28 years as a cop and crime scene tech and 911 coordinator, but it didn't affect my thinking abilities at all!

I live in the Quad Cities USA-Davenport, IA.
