The 17 year plan.
Hi everyone. I'm a 28 year old career firefighter from upstate NY. My father was a carpenter, and I spent my childhood on job sites learning the trade. But my interests have always been in working with metal, focusing in automotive applications. I taught myself to iug weld in my early teens and haven't stopped learning metal shaping and fabrication techniques. I've found forums like Metalmeet an invaluable resource in learning.
I have been currently been building and selling custom vintage motorcycles on the side for the past several years. I am eligible to retire from the fd in seventeen years, at the age of 45. It has always been my dream to retire and have a small automotive fabrication shop. I'm hoping to add this forum as another resource to help me along.
