Hey Lanse... don't let the math scare ya off... I flunked out of math in junior high... been machining for 15 years now and love it! every day is a new challenge... even when running the CNC (production) machines. I used to think they (CNC machines) would be boring, but now am into programming and getting more involved every day. What a trip!!! In our shop, we're doing things I'm not sure I would've believed possible even a few years ago. And, what some of the other guys said about the working environment is true... we have a nice clean shop to work in! I used to teach a night machining class at our local community college and a lot of my students were actually welding majors, but were taking my class as an elective. We would often get into the big discussion, which was better, being a welder or a machinist. I would tell them my story about being in the shop one day when it was 30 below zero with a 25 mph wind blowing... and kept thinking I heard something outside in the distance. Finally, the third time I looked out, I realized what I was hearing was the sound of a portable welder off in the distance. I immediately closed the door and turned up the heat! LOL! Regardless which you choose, work hard and stay focused... you'll get there!!! ...D

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
