About bustedknuckels74

Biography:

I grew up fixing mopeds, dirt bikes, then snowmobiles, then I went for an Automobile Mechanics license, worked on and off, then was crushed by a 2,000lb paper bail. So I went through an apprenticeship for small engine mechanics certificate. I have always enjoyed working with metals, of all kinds, when I was 17yrs old I put a 175cc Kawasaki Enduro motor into a keystone minibike. My welding teacher said if I could draft it, I could weld it luckily my drafting teacher was teaching me Calligraphy at the time in-between classes. I was always switching engines into places where they didn't belong, I used to go to a place called Barrie Welding and get plates made up 1" thick, 6" X 8" square and have 3/4" holes punched into all four corners and used them to widen the ski's on my 340cc Ski-Do Silver Bullet, now it's a standard practice with shocks and all the trimmings. I'll let yous all get back to your projects, and hope to post some great stuff on here once I can get my shop up and running (medical issues from being crushed 22 yrs later) Thanks Y'all Work, Create, and Play Safe Andrew R Thomson
