Time to make myself known

[Metal Basher]

Good morning. I am a full time aircraft metalworker. Have previously been employed as a boilermaker, was an underground miner and grew up on a farm full of antiquated machinery and tools. We made do with what we had and designed/built much of what was needed out of necessity. Have 5 cars to keep me on my toes. Am always turning my hand at something to keep me busy. Thanks for having me aboard, and cheers.

Cool resume!

What mine where you at?

 

[Metal Basher]

Mount Isa Mines. Queensland. Gave up the mining industry 15 years ago and got into military aviation.

 

[LX-Markham]

Northern Territory, Australia. Got ya.

LOL, I misinterpreted it as one of the 'Canadian' Northern Territories.
I spent a few years working at a copper/zinc mine in Northern Ontario.

Welcome to the GJ. You may like to update that location a little more to avoid confusion given this is such a global forum.

We also have an Aussie - Kiwi Social group on the forum that may interest you.

Thanks ****. Presently have come into possession of a number of vices so they will be a relatively easy restoration project. I will find an appropriate thread for their story.
