calldoctoday just a warning,over 60 years ago I went to university to become a teacher and found out I could get paid to go fishing. I buggered the best hobby I ever had and made it a career. Been retired for 27 years and got my fingers crossed the border opens and I can go to Alaska and fish for sockeyes
Brianzipperdog123 I will keep my fingers crossed for you. I have still never made it to Alaska yet. But, I did make it to British Columbia about 20 years ago & the Fishing was fantastic (Chinook, I think it was Sockeye, but it might have been Coho now that I am remembering for a second, & Halibut. The whole experience was wonderful & I sure do hope I can make it back or better yet, Alaska some day. I will keep my fingers crossed for you too!

Marine Corps 1989-1995. Got a job in manufacturing plant my hometown when I got out. Started in shipping and in 5 years worked my way up to welding, machine operator and then machine programmer. Water tower fabrication company in town needed a AutoCad guy. I went and talked to the owner. Said I have never used AutoCad but I am sure I could figure it out. He took a chance on me and I have been here 20 years last month.

37 years of glass blowing. I bet you got some stories. No experience here, just seems like a cool profession!

We have had some very interesting projects come through the shop over the years. It is a challenging profession but it’s anything but cool.

For me I’ve been in construction since I was a youngin.
Born into a self employed one man plumbing repair, sewer and septic tank company. I was taught electric and electronics, sent to the university for a couple of years and decided that carpentry was where I was meant to land.
I’ve had residential and commercial projects under my own company and have served as a site superintendent for large projects through 20 mil across the central USA.

I ment to add,
I wish to thank all of those that have served at any capacity for our way of life!
I mean all of you at any capacity!! -
JD3010 Can you talk a little about some of your more interesting projects?
