What is your REAL job?

[TooJung2Die]

I'm a Dentist. Yep, everyone hates me and I'm okay with it since I'm used to feeling [filling] down in the mouth.

Very punny 😜 I've had good experiences and very bad experiences going to the dentist. Like every other profession, there are good and bad practitioners. Can't say I enjoy going to the dentist but I am very grateful for them and what they do.

I had a friend that was in the navy, and he kept saying that he wished he had something else to put on his resume. he told us that every time he had a job interview. he would tell them he was in the navy. next question was the one that got him turn down. what did you do on the navy? his answer, I used to load bombs on to the planes. first time he told us we all turn to look at him, and started really cracking up like almost crying laughing. because if you ever saw the catoon duck tales. you know the tiger that fixes baloos plane exact duplica he looked like a mad scientist. i would also take second thoughts about hiring him. i can still see his face hahahhahaha!

My first computer was a Sinclair. 1kb was all you had for programming. Used the Commodore pet to learn to program in Assembly language to get the speaker to say the letter I. I even had a Apple cassette tape(yes) used for the earlier Apple before the floppy disk came out.

My first computer was an Abacus !!! oh and counting the fingers on each hand then taking my shoes and socks off if I needed to go any higher

It's been a ride but I'm in trade school right now for welding. I'm at least proficient in all of the five main processes, GTAW, GMAW, SMAW, Oxy-Fuel, and Flux Core, with GTAW (Stick) probably being my strongest.

I graduated welding school in 2020! Man I love it! I’m doing industrial repair and running jobs at 21! Not much welding but majority of the stuff we see is tig for stainless and flux core on just about everything else! First pic is welding school the next is me beside a 360000kg test weight for a steel plant!(almost 800000 lbs!)

Okee, I'll share. Full time farmer. Took off a few years to get my degree in Radio Production/Performance and then DJ for awhile. But then came back to what I love most.

Cool! I just turned 13 and my neighbor ( recently retired mechanic) is teaching me A LOT! He’s soon going to teach me to MIG weld and then TIG weld.

As for what I do for a living, I going to ask my neighbor (electrician) if I can get a part-time job/apprenticeship for the summer so I can pay for my RC projects and the hot rod I’m building.

Ye people who are more well-stricken in years; any advice would be wonderful! Wether it be your 50 cents or a full discourse about the drive shaft system would be great! I love to learn for the more experienced guys. A private message would be the best way to contact me…the thing that says “start conversation” when you tap on my profile.

Let's see. Here's a list of what I do at my day job:

1. CAD Design
2. Machinist
3. Welder
4. Fabricator
5. Electrician
6. Maintenance

The company I work for does extrusion - we coat single strands of wire (usually silver plated copper) with compounds. We also extrude filaments that get used in everything from filters in aerospace and medical applications to the filaments that stuff multi-conductor cables to keep them round.

Most of the equipment we use is designed and built in-house. That's where I come in. I design/modify machines in CAD (Inventor), make the drawings, cut the stock, do all the machining/drilling/tapping, then weld the parts. Then after powder coat I do all the assembly and wiring of said machines. I also am takes with maintenance on the machines - leaks, filters, fluids, bearings, etc.

I also design and make tooling that we use in the extrusion process. I frequently machine materials such as Hastelloy C276, Monel 400 and Inconel 718 as those materials are high-temp and super corrosion resistant. A lot of the coating compound we use is FEP which is a super-pure teflon. At the temps we extrude FEP at (pushing 800F) the vapors are VERY caustic and will disintegrate steels and stainless steels in short order.
