I engjoy turning wood because it happens so quick. When I'm wood carving, it taker so long to get anything finished. Although the Chinese ball took some six hours to complete. My wife thinks I should get a life.
I'm retired from the city of Riverside, California. I was the Silk Screen Printer of all the street traffic signs. We cut the fancy ones on a computer-cutter using colored Scotchlite.

Before that I was a printing instructor(silk screen and offset) at the Men's Prison at Tehachapi, Ca. and then at the Women's Facility at Frontera, Ca. The intersting thing here was that my staff was composed of three of the Manson Girls. One was my clerk and one was my Offset Press Operator printing the institution's newspaper.
