Whats your day job!?

Hmmmmm, OK, Let me see if I get this right (It's a mouthful)..

I run the Asia Pacific region deployment & post sales support team for a Global Identity Assurance Company (Biometric Matching Software).

In other words I install (fairly complex) software & fix it when it breaks.. And I get to travel to interesting Countries to do it.

And I support my family, Play Bass & try to get some freetime every now and again :-)
 
I put my pants on one leg at a time just like you do. The difference is...after they're on, I make gold records.

I operate CNC machines. CNC lathes, mills, and a bunch of other machines.

...That what I read all day! (among other things).

I'm going in for my welding apprenticeship soon, though.

I used to be a machinist. I started out on an old bridgeport turret milling machine (manual operation) and a moreseki engine lathe... I ended up on Okuma CNC lathes and Haas and fadal CNC mills...
been welding certified for over 20 years

We've got a few Okuma's, none that I've run, though. A lot of Takisawas.

How do you like welding?

it was just part of a job... it is cool when I can make wild guitar stands and stuff, but still not a big thrill
when you get decent, try something like this . It will humble you in a big hurry... That is made from a double roller harley davidson primary chain, each link is welded on one side, with the welded sides alternating... I made it for a friend, who I had spend a lot of time riding with. The base is a harley brake disc, and the badge is off the sissy bar of my own road king
