I work in a machine shop. I mainly program cnc machines, but run manual mills and lathes. I do a little welding. The shop I work in makes welding machines for specialty nuclear applications. We do it all, engineer it, prototype it, test it, make the real one, and take it in the field and weld.

WOW! This groups got some BRAINS I guess gone are the days of the DUMB RED NECK wheeler. My story ain't near as interesting. Started welding & fabricating @ age 14 then machine shop in high school the rest of my degree came from the school of hard knocks 30+ years machining and some design work (10 years in my own company). Then got into retail, convenience store & cafe & my wife owns a trophy shop but I do all the work.

Well after High School i went to the US Coast Guard for 4 years and was an Electrician. Then got out and got a degree in maintenance, and work as an electrican for awhile. I did all the conveyors at the new Dell computers plant in Kernersville, NC. Got tired of traveling and found a job close to home running a plc panel for Perdue Farms. SO eat Perdue chicken!

I have a B.S. in Printing Management, but as several have pointed out, the printing industry is sorta lackluster here in the southeast (and I don't really wanna move), so I'm back in grad school getting certified to teach engineering & technology to middle/high school.

I have done some log homes! I guess the log home guys can build just about anything. I think most of the log builders like for you to use their plans but will accept others. Let me know what you are looking for in a floor plan and how many sq.ft.

Might want to cut that conversation to another thread :hysterical: but hey my husband and I could be down with something like that if it was on a weekend we could go. :rebel:


I am an accountant and have been in this career field for about 11 years. Just wrapping up my masters and walk in May. Next is CPA licensing, I know... boring!!! Currently working for a division of Fiat. The same engineers that design Maserati's also have designed the new retro 8N tractor so I'm at the plant manufacturing the new retro Ford 8N's as well as Case-New Holland tractors :beer:

As far as networking goes I can totally hook up anyone with a background in manufacturing engineering of any sort. Work Site would be in Dublin, Ga and for the right Engineer they would probably help with relocation expenses. Major perk would be living near River Rock ORV :rebel:
