Thread: I get asked to design the strangest things----

Tweet

This is a dream job.---This spring is my 43rd year!!! I particularly have enjoyed the last 7 years working on my own. Next week I start a 2 month contract on some big machine that was built in Germany and purchased by a company in Canada. The relationship between the 2 companies went off the rail some time a few years ago, and now the German company has gone out of business. Now the Canadian company wants me to "reverse engineer" the machine and create new mechanical details of it, to produce a new machine.

Brian,

My Son is just starting (well, he's in his 4th Year) in your business-I am truly amazed at what Designers do, at what must be going through their minds when they design, and how do they keep it fresh. I sometimes have trouble trying to figure out how to make a bracket to hold stuff on my build .

I think most Designers are first-borns, because first-borns are typically creative-as posted earlier, I think it's great because you are always doing something different every day-

Did you notice he changed the subject hoping everybody would forget about the cookies. Someone should check and see if the milkman made an extra large delivery to his house!! That is a surefire way to find out if he is hoarding all the cookies.
