As a profession, I do pretty much the same as Nikecivic, except I didn't go to college and get the degree. 30 + years of experience with it though. We work at the same place except different code.
As a non profession, I'm a fairly good shade tree mechanic and have all the tools. I've built balanced and blueprinted 600 HP Chevy engines and 100 HP Harley engines in my garage. I've also done body work and paint which if you've seen my Bike, then you've seen my work. Pretty much anything mechanical I can do. Basically a Master mechanic without the ASE cert.
I've also been called a master woodworker. I've got almost a full blown woodshop in my garage as well. I built Vince's stand for him as well as my own tank surround and most of the woodwork in my house. I'm in the process of rebuilding the inside of my house. Everything from electrical to drywall to refinshing the 50 year old oak floors.
Pretty much a jack of all trade and a master of none.
John, I may need some of your services when I start building my laundry room and modifying my kitchen.
