    I'm a maker extreme. At home, I have several pinball and non pinball projects going at once. At work I have at least 5 projects going on. I build museum exhibits, displays and corporate/government environments. I was curious to see what cool things are being built that are not pinball related. I'll start.

    Thanks. It's is my dream job. Its constant learning but I'm a HUGE fabrication nerd so it's ok. My shop I'd basically a maker space so that helps alot. Everything is made from scratch with sheet goods and raw lumber.

    I just try to keep my house clean and, at best, have mixed results.

    I'm a workaholic when it comes to hobbies. 3 benches with current projects on all.
    My other hobby is vintage (tube) electronics. I'm finally finishing off a Collins
    32V1 transmitter from 1946 and the previous project was the matching receiver,
    75A1 from the same time. Both had mice living in them. These were items I could only dream of having as a kid.
    Next up will be a Raytheon RA-250 AM broadcast transmitter from 1949. All
    1250 pounds of it.

    Also enjoy designing and building short wave receivers from scratch just for fun.

    love old trucks. I have a 67 impala that’s a perpetual work in progress. A truck may be my next big endeavor.

    I have a love for old tools. I restored 1950s south bend lathe and a 1970s Bridgeport milling machine. I also LOVE old vices. I have no idea why, just something in my brain makes me look at an old vice and say “damn that’s sexy” . Fetish maybe.

    I’ve got an early 40s 30A dc power supply apart right now. It works perfectly but I wanted to make it pretty. Never messed with tubes before.

    I had one of those back in the 90's. Capri Cream with a gold interior, 327 and fender skirts. What gorgeous lines on those cars.
