When I am not playing boats, I provide the technical back up for a group of enthusiasts that produce a local radio broadcast at the Biggin Hill International Air Fair here in the UK. This year we will also be broadcasting on the web from Thursday 30th May. To join in the fun click on http://www.airfair-radio.co.uk .

What i do when i am not out on the pond is i do a lot of machine work! i work at a machine shop and i get to use all the machines for whatever i want! i can get $1000 worth of machining done for free, all i need to spend $ on is material, i do all the design work (masterCAM) and code for the piece!

last month i made a turbine pnumatic motor! all stainless steel! the top rmp of that is amazing! like up at 50-60,000 Rpm!(i know that cuz i seized the bearings rated @ 55,000rpm!) next i think that i might make some bulit hardware for my boats!

it also helps that this is what i am going to go t college for Tool & Die, so i have that experience!
