Amateur!? You have rubbed elbows with the like of Smoky Yunick! You have run your own machine shop (probably into the ground) and have been there and done everything in this trade. I would say you are a Pro considering you get paid or did get paid to do this stuff. I'm merely an apprentice compared to the likes of you. I can't figure out why I can't seem to remember you winning the EMC. I've been there 7 times and spoken with all of the winners (SAM, Kaase, Bischoff etc) many times. I don't seem to remember you. Weird. J.Rob
