Parents bought a farm when I was 4, Dad raised beefers.Learned to drive Ford tractor when I was 10.Started messing with B&S lawnmower motors at about 12.Dad showed me how to use a torch and stick welder [very basic] when I was about 13-14.Started wrenching on old cars,trucks,tractors soon after.Lots of mini-bikes,homemade tractors.Dad and I put a plymouth 6 cyl.flathead in a Farmall F-20 when I was about 16.Wish I still had it, worked great.Was into hot-rod Mopars by the time I graduated H.S. 4 yrs in the USN as an electronics tech.It was OK but discovered I liked mechanical things better.Worked general maintenance in a local factory 4 yrs.after a brief stint at running mills,drills,threading machines and small lathe.Piece work,it sucked! Spent 5 yrs at an autobody shop mostly on the front-end alignment rack.Learned enough to be so-so at body and paint work.I never cared for the paint,bondo smell.Usally can manage to shoot a decent coat of paint on what ever project I got going.Dad was a union carpenter and I learned quite a bit from him.In fact thats the line of work I have been in for the last 20 yrs.Do most all of the upgrades,remodeling,maintenance on our home.All vehicle maint. and most of the repair.
