Thumbs up Aloha from the isle of the Traffic Gods..Oahu

I guess in order to become a vested member I have to bore you all with a little about myself....So hea it Go..

Typical wrench head. Helped ( no actually was putting in pistons etc.) overhaul my first engine at age 7. Prior to that was taking stuff apart after opening the gifts from Christmas or Birthdays.

I've been a Gas Station Attendant, Tire changer, Wrench for Sears, Mason helper ( found out what I didn't want to do then) Wrench for Honolulu Police Department vehicles & solo bikes, Firefighter (13yrs then resigned as I was a single dad and raised my son from 3 months old and had my business going I was missing out on him growing up and had to make a choice) was a longshoreman part time while a firefighter ( POLITELY quit...) studied welding and fabrication while others took promotional exams. Self taught.

Started my Fab biz in 1996 and been rocking it ever since. :What pays the bills (barely) we do work for the industrial entities , State, Federal Government Agencies, Commercial.

The fun stuff that is the passion:

I have my SAE Manufacturers license's for Custom Motorcycles, Trailers, Passenger Vehicles - partial & complete, Trucks partial & complete. Certified welder certs. Going to America this year to get my radiological Weld inspectors cert. Blah Blah.

Build bikes, cars etc.

Hope this earns me passage rights!

Thanks for reading my book of a post...
