I had shop and drawing in highschool, that led me to an apprenticeship program at my career employer. I served a four year apprenticeship as a machinist, in doing so I realized that I didn't want to run production machinery the rest of my life. I was blessed to have the opportunity to be involved in a very intracate machine assembly area. I was one that loved working with my hands and that 47 years passed pretty fast. I do appreciate the time I spent learning the machines and how they work. I would like to own a milling machine but, I can't justify the expense, I can manage to get by with some light machining on my Shopsmith.
