Toolmaker for about 16 years. Specifically a cnc edm operator in a plastic injection mold building shop. These days mostly replacment tooling work as not many customers investing in new tooling right now. Worked for a remodelling contractor for several years in a previous life which was a good thing last year during my 6 month layoff (kept busy and did quite well on an apartment remodel during my time off), Also gives me an excuse to have more tools!

I make a decent living, charging a fair price. $2500 retail for a F430 oil change leaves me a ton of room to discount and make a decent profit while they're still saving 75%+.

 

[Test Tech]

The name says it all. Mechanical durability is my specialty, I've worked primarily in automotive testing throught my career. I 've also saved alot of money by working on my own stuff over the years, not paying for expensive labor is almost like making a better living than you actually do. Its also nice if you can find people to barter with, especially as a mechanical guy/welder who doesn't like to do carpentry/home improvement.

Woah, lots of cool jobs you guys have.

Slacker, living off my woman.
