Hi gang!
As the saying goes, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade". In my case, life handed me a sack of lemons and all I got was an eye full of citric acid! Got laid off from my full-time job thanks to outsourcing, or as the company calls it, "Right-Sizing".
I'm an Engineering Designer by trade specializing in tooling, fixtures and jigs, etc. for manufacturing as well as production lines, R&D and pilot lines. I've been doing this sort of work for the last 25 years or so. I used to operate some of the earlier wire E.D.M. machines which used paper-punch tapes for the program.
I am now interested setting-up a small, table mount, gantry type, CNC engraver/mill for fabricating/detailing parts for my custom Corvette. I also have small setups for powder-coating, anodizing and plating. Holy cow! With all this stuff, maybe I could start making some lemonade!
