I know my BIO says Ftw ,TX but actually for the past 10 years I've been working in a little sand flat called Kuwait The wife &I came over here in 2002 to help set up a manufacturing factory was planing on 3 years possibly 5 but somehow it stretched into 10 years.
From the very start I have been the senior design engineer slash trouble shooting inventor for a company over here I started out just going to set up a small steel work production factory then started designing freight elevators, per-engineered steel structures And teaching machinists / welders and installers which was part of my buis, back in TX. One thing lead to another through the passage of time. Now I am preparing to semi retire hopefully out in the west TX high desert area where I plan to build a small workshop and builf some of the construction machines I have been designing but haven't had time to build, also will be tinkering with off grid items like solar heating /cooling water purification wind generators and DIY items for small farming operations.
Most items that I will be design building will be from things found in scrap yards.
I have dozens of filled hard drives of drawings and millions of pictures of things that I have done over the years I am m more than happy to share as time goes on

Thanks guys, not sure what I'm doing here Zeus knows I have far too many forums connected to my compute now. i guess most of them are just a little too topic specific at times.
I looked over 1000s of pages and posts before deciding to set the chisel and start plowing a row so to speak,
