Retired and now teaching and learning.

[atwatterkent]

After retiring I needed something to do so I went to the local community college, worked in the machine tool shop, repairing machines, and now teach. In order to keep the classes fresh we change projects every couple of semesters. I make the prototypes, prints, and jigs to facilitate repeatability. I am always looking for interesting new projects that students would consider useful in their shop or garage.
