I fix and sell bicycles. I am primarily on the sales side of things though. I lead my shop in total sales, and have a very high customer retention and steal a ton of customers from our rival shop muahahahaha.

I realized there is alot of bicycle employees here. I myself just left that industry in August. For 2 years i was a self proclaimed " Velo Technical Specialist" for a leading Trek dealer here in the southeast

It's good to see a lot of people in the manufacturing field. Manufacturing is what creates wealth. I'm a tool and die maker/machinist/cad designer/cam programmer/maintenance and repair man/electrician/plumber/welder/IT guy/janitor/everything else. In other words, my family owns a machine shop. My brother and I work about 12 hours a day running 4 CNC mills (soon to be 6), 2 CNC lathes (soon to be 4), 5 wire EDMs (soon to be 7), 1 vertical EDM and a bunch of other manual equipment when it's needed. We'll be adding a waterjet machine in the near future as well. This is all crammed in a 3200 sq ft building where the average noise level in the shop when everything is running is about 105dB. Our main product is aluminum extrusion dies but we also do a lot of job shop work. My brother and I run the machines, my dad does most of the CAD work and sales and my mom does the accounting. We have one other guy that does most of the CAM programming. We're a 20 man shop, but there are only 5 of us.



I'll skip the details of how we make the dies and just show you some final results. We specialize in architectural shapes and our work can be found all over the world and in the skylines of just about every American city.

AT&T building in Nashville


Bank of America in Atlanta



Petronas Towers in Malaysia




National Constitution Center in Philadelphia



Boeing World Headquarters in Seattle



Trump Hotel in Chicago



Bossone building at Drexel University



All of the amazing buildings that the Cleveland Clinic and its main competitor University Hospitals have built and are continuing to build.




Cleveland Clinic of Abu Dhabi









The list goes on and on and includes just about every American airport that has been remodeled or built in the last 30 years and any modern glass buildings on many college campuses. If you've bought a Kohler or Sterling Kinkead shower door in the last 25-30 years, that's our tooling as well. We've also been making a ton of extrusion tooling for solar farms all over the world in the last few years.

Some pretty crazy jobs on here, people from all over.

I'm a structures mechanic for the 747-8. I fasten the first two parts of the fuselage together, hard work, but it's fun.

I tried to hit your site from California and it said I wasn't in the US.

Well the main company is in the UK, but we just placed an office in the US.

On a serious note, though... What kind of government restrictions are placed on what you can and can't have a satellite do once in orbit?

Edit: Now that I've read my question, it seems insanely broad...

It is pretty broad!! Our satellites mostly are for remote sensing and communications. None of 'em launch missiles or cut other satellites in half with a laser or anything cool like that.

Awesome stuff Bill. I'd love to see some of the dies and other items you make.

Well shucks...

I'm a full time student, as a hobby and passion I'm in the Medical Marijuana field. I manage, consult, and construct grow rooms for qualifying patients in addition to managing my own endeavor. All finished products go directly to dispensaries in exchange for a reasonable donation to cover electricity bills, hardware, operating expenditures, and of course a reasonable wage for my time invested.

Yesterday/Yesterday evening consisted of putting my chemistry background to use, creating a full melt bubble hash concentrate using my indoor "Blackberry Kush" as it's foundation. I'm expecting results above 60% THC content when I get the test back. Tomorrow I'm working on BHO Oil I'm hoping will break 70%.

For reference, these are common THC averages:
[Mid grade: 7-15%. Top shelf: 20%+]

My Blackberry Kush tested 21.36% THC, 0.34% CBD, and 0.49% CBN at Steep Hill Labs this last harvest.

Quality > Quantity

...Yes I love my job...

I get bored in the lab, here's a $500 hash snowman I was messing around with lol. Test came back a little lower than I expected at 56% THC content (still a shit load). This is specifically from my 25 micron filter, the purest of the batch. I think my mistake was not freezing the plant matter prior to the cold water extract filtering process; that was some prep work I had to skip and the results suffered. Still impressive nonetheless for my first try, I'll make some adjustments next time. My buddy puked on his first rip though haha, it will definitely knock you on your ass! I've got some new ideas coming up, I'm going to focus more on what I know- BHO oils like amber glass, budder, etc. Fascinating stuff to say the least.

Wow some of these jobs are just awesome!!

[giantkeeper]

On top of being and Environmental Coordinator in the semiconductor industry as a career, I also have my own business where I breed and sell reptiles. When I am not doing either of those I work on BMW's as a side job.

I have been raising and breeding reptiles for 15+ years. It's actually how I met my wife. :crazy:

I take these Python Brongersmai

"normal"



and make these pattern and color mutations. These are not hybrids, they are pure Python Brongersmai





















I know some of you are anti reptile and arachnophobic (it's ok, I'm not big on spiders myself) so I apologize to you guys. I did however have some PM's asking :)
