What is your job

Built the finest nuclear submarines in the world for 24 years (1973 - 1997), 18 years welding nuclear pipe and 6 years NDE technician, mag particle, liquid penetrant, visual inspection, certified weld inspector and mostly x-raying welds.

The last 11 years I’ve been mostly x-raying welded pieces in the real world, and doing those other inspections when their isn't too much radiography. And of course busting Wa..Wa..Wally's balls :eek:
 
Retired USN in 1996 after 18 yrs 20 days. Spent my time in the electronics field and shore based ASW. Then worked for the RR as a signal maintainer, went back to school and earned an AS degree in machine tool technology. Making knives since high school but earnestly since 1992. Right now a full time maker.
 
I'm a computer geek for a defense contractor. Been wiggling my fingers at the glowing box since I was 4....Making knives is a way for me to do something tangible rather than virtual...

Slap me if I do
Take care

Landscape irrigation. I mainly install sprinkler systems in lawns. Mostly on big commercial new construction projects. Do some residential. Plant trees, shrubs, sod and even build some ponds and waterfalls. In the Texas Panhandle it never rains so we have to make our own.
 
For 28 years I have made my living as a sculptor working in ancient ivory and whale bone. I also restore and sell mammoth tusks and other fossils. If you have been using mammoth ivory for a long time chances are some of it is material I bought from a gold mine or remote Eskimo village.
With seven daughters my most important jobs are husband ,father and grandfather. I am 54 years old and my 10th grandson will be born this summer.
Although I have no extra money I feel like the richest man alive!
