Overview

I have been involved in the powered paragliding/parachute community since 2002 when
I flew my first powered parachute. Since then, I have received my Basic Flight Instruction
certificate (which is useless today since the FAA introduced Sport Pilot). Mostly, I have
been flying powered paragliders and making modifications to existing equipment and
building new equipment.
Over these last few years, I have built up a capability in welding. I can weld mild steel
and aluminum from small sizes to 1/4" thick. My main form of welding is TIG, a form of arc
welding that uses tungsten electrodes and Argon shielding gas.

Other things that I can do is powder coat. I have several powder coat guns and an
18"x18"x18" cube oven for curing small items and several IR lamps for doing larger pieces.

I currently have two furnaces for melting lower temp metals like aluminum. The molten
metal is used to pour into sand molds to make various parts.

I have also built up a skill in replicating items in plastic. This involves creating accurate
molds of small items and making plastic parts with various effects such as color, texture and
metalization.
