    I started out as a cook. Then I got a job in the builders trade as labor, then carpenter helper to carpenter. During those years I also worked for a land company planting trees and such. I also did a stint in a planner mill making and surfacing lumber. Then I moved north and got a job in a foundry making auto parts for General Motors. I worked there 18 years....my last job was in a fabrication shop as a burn man. I planted trees, cut them down, loaded them on trucks and sawed them into lumber. I learned to lay out a building, set the anchor bolts , build the cement forms, install the trim and doors and hand the key to the owner. I was not a brick mason or electrician. I was a pretty fair concrete man. I was a pipe fitter for a while.

    I was going to ask what a bum man did, but had misread it. What does a burn man do?

    I ran a CNC machine that burnt shapes in metal. A plasma cutter for steel and aluminum under an inch thick and acetylene /oxygen for thicker steel. I could cut slabs as large as 10ft by 20ft. and 6 inches thick.

    I was an assistant teaching for 2 1/2 years with a man who was a tool and die man's tool and die man. He once showed me a project he built for the University, the rails upon which an apparatus ran that scanned film across which sub atomic particles were shot. His precision limits were -0 +1micron. They were 4' apart and 8' long. I won't go into details how he did it here but even masters in the field would be in awe.
    I always said he, with a 6th grade education and a dean of a college, who I met through him, are the two most impressive people I've ever known.
