What do you do for a living?

36 years of carpentry, and am presently studying for a degree in bar room gynecology. :eek: :eek: :eek:
 
I patrol an Army owned installation full time and make knifes part time. I am so bent on getting totally broke that I plan on making knives full time when I retire in a few years. I am a state licensed investigator but have pretty much given that up. I'ts much more enjoyable making knives and tormenting IG.
 
31 years at a Community College.........The first 21 teaching Collision Repair..........The last 10 on the administrative side working with human resources and institutional effectiveness :barf: :barf:

Put those freeloaders to work! I'd take a live-in sweatshop over a fan club any day of the week! The 8 year old can do folders, get the 4 year old doing fixed blades and the 2 year old can clean up.

Retired precison machinest , supervisor, made Hardinge lathes for 36 yrs. Now I make knives full time and drive school bus part time. :)
 
I am a full time female bootyologist! :D
I work for Pepsi (merchandiser), on the side.
I too am going broke trying to make knives.
If you think about it, the guys who make tools (ROB! :eek: ) for the knifemakers are the only guys making money in this BIDNESS!


OOPS, I forgot Brian Goode.
He has a armored truck backing up to his house once a week also! :p
 
This is what I do full-time now:

Even though I am only 31 I have done more different things (realty business, import/export business, reatil store, lots of other stuff) and got broke...hu-hummm got a lot of experience on most of them, so I figured out I´d do well in knifemaking :D ! I have given up a couple times but I don´t think I´ll ever give up from knifemaking again - is there anything better than burnt fingers and that black stuff coming out of your nose after all?

Still enjoy the work, though I'd rather make knives...
 
area opperations mgr. for the largest buy-here--pay-here auto dealer in the u.s. looking forward to early retirement and eventually bankruptcy making knives.
 
I am a Respiratory Therapist, as in working in the hospital part time. The other part is spent at home with the muchikins 2yo and 6yo. I have done this for 15years. Before this I was a photographer, a woodworker, and did trace metal analysis for the feds.
I have forged 6 knives so far and they are what my wife calls early protoman knives and what I have learned forging knives is to never pet a burning dog.
Cheers Ron. :eek:
