TRsome Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 I've been wondering what everybody's career is on here. How many work in the automotive industry? Just browsing through the projects, I can see that some people are more technically skilled than others (me), and I wonder if that's related to what you do for money. So, what do you guys do?

the nice machine Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 i make glass pipes for hippies. been doing this for 17 years, also have 5 years restaurant cooking experience, and these days i do a lot of light construction (already built 5 greenhouses this year). the only way working with glass could help with working on cars- patience. both take a lot of it. EDIT: i guess i should add i also do a bit of buying and selling of old collectibles (buy an old radio for ten bucks, sell it to a collector for 100 bucks) and i'm trying to get better at restoring stuff. i like making old stuff shiny again. ANOTHER EDIT: i also detail cars, boats, and trailers. damn, i just realized that i am a well rounded individual. i have a lot of hobbies, i try to make them pay for themselves. and i'm happy to report that these are very expensive. 1 Quote Link to comment
