Having never had a website, or much of a facebook page, I started this blog to document and share my experiences with my new occupation, and gain some new skills.
First some background, I graduated Cum Lousy from a teensy college in Pennsylvania with a BS in physics after way too many years. I learned from college that I hated college. From there i moved to a nice city smack dab in the middle of Ohio (it was THE place to get jobs, i was told). my first job was weed eating around a machine shop. Apperently showing up two days in a row for $7.50/hour was enough to get a job at $9/hour welding, polishing and machining stainless.
From there i went to construction and finally to a engineering job. The work was great, the corporate environment was... not so great. So after ten years i quit, and said to myself "self, you got some great ideas, you should start a shop and make them". So after three years, I didn't make them yet, but i am getting more equipment to do it. I have bought, bartered, and salvaged some neat new (to me) tools. I have also learned about business, and how difficult it is to get one going.
This blog is to document the journey so far, what I am currently doing and my future plans.
