Sounds a lot like Snap-On Tools. My dad's been with Snap-On for 32 years now, as a dealer most of the time, and a field-manager for 3 years earlier on. Neat stuff y'all design/fabricate. How much 'engineering' goes into designing something to a customer's requests and then producing the actual piece?

Depends on the product. I'm not an engineer, so I can't tell you what's all involved, but they get the job done every time.

It just involves the customer/distributor calling us up and giving us their specs. We usually run them through all of the usual questions:

Raised Height
Lowered Height
How much travel, etc.
Casters? Floor Mounted? Pit Mounted?
Manual or Powered? Hydraulic, Pneumatic, Electric.
Deck size?
Tooling options, etc.

The list is pretty much endless as you can do just about anything. After we have all of that info we get them a drawing and a quote and hopefully they sign off on it and place an order.

Schooled as an Elementary Teacher, but I'm a Hotel Manager. Which has been great for a guy like me with no attention span - job starts getting boring - just pick a new department and start learning all over again... Except that I have run out of departments now...

I'm a chemist for a very large pharmaceutical company. Our location is the largest narcotics producer in the world, and I get to test the raw materials and finished products! We have police officers throughout the building, per DEA regulations, due to us manufacturing narcotics. It's hilarious; A few weeks ago I was walking through the building with a box full of pharmaceutical grade cocaine (uncut) and the cops just smiled and said, "Hi Christian!". I smiled and kept on walking

Now take that same said box & try walking out the door to your car with it & see how far you get!:eek:

The pay is bunk and the industry is nearly dead, but the work is fun and relatively stress-free.

That's all that matters. A person that enjoys what they do for a living will never work a day in their life.
