After many years I've just retired from teaching Design Technology subjects at high schools around Queensland.
I live just north of Brissy in the Moreton shire and I have to confess that working in metal became a bit of a passion for me about 30 years ago.
I don't have much formal metal qualification apart from a teaching degree (Manual Arts) and a welding cert. but I've learnt heaps from old ex- tradies in my job, and I am a sponge when it comes to metal stuff.
My wife reckons it's a sickness when you own 4 welders, 5 angle grinders and a host of other machines and equipment. She's probably right.
I am hoping to spend more time enjoying my passion now (when all of the previously started, more boring, jobs are completed if you know what I mean.) Great to be here.
