Satellite mechanic

Hi I'm Jon, that was taken so I put in "Jonny" but only my Mom calls me that so....
I'm retired from the aerospace industry and I physically built satellites. That means I'm a master machinest, carpenter, plumber, engineer, acetylene welder and electrician, but NOT electronics tech nor a arc welder.
All of my skills I have carried over into retirement so I have fun in my garage and home building stuff and building tools I'm too cheep to buy.

Hi Jon,

Welcome! :welcome:

Very, very cool stuff!! :hattip: Did you work for Hughes or TRW? Which satellites have you helped to build?

What sort of homemade tools do you like? Are you working on anything at the moment?

Who in their right name would take the name "Jon"?! :pimpflash:

That's a nice wide skill set. What kind of stuff do you like to build now?
