I first started out buying all kinds of machinery and woods to become a luthier but found out i don't have the time for that so now I decided to get more involved and build a car lmao

but in my time apart from school and work, I have recently gotten very seriously into weight lifting/bodybuilding/nutrition.

Damn! Some really cool stuff on here! The ferraris, hot rods, leather, watches, etc, all very very cool! It's great that there's such a diverse talent pool on here and we all share the 02 passion.

I'm a custom woodworker/contractor/actor/host...it's a bit confusing.. My dad was a big developer growing up and I grew up learning how to build pretty much anything. I was a lucky kid, to say the least. My dad had 'the eye', and I've been told I may have gotten a teenie bit of it, too...:-). I've been working on breaking into the acting world for quite some time, with some success here and there. I also co host a TV show on HGTV that has been one heck of an experience! Craziness. Also some fun projects for some really big celebs that were just awesome to do... I guess I've been pretty blessed out here.. I'll see if I can post up some pics or links to me doing some TV stuff...kinda silly, I guess, but lots of fun..;-).

Great to be a part of this forum!

I had a luthier that used to buy old clock springs from me. He said they were the perfect case scrapers when cut and sharpened

Steve,

By chance has a guy named Allen Zolnekoff ever come into your store? He used to be the mayor of Whittier back in the days and a former coworker of mine. He has a rat rod too and I'm sure knowing Allen, he's probably visited every shop like yours in the local area.

Yes Bob Alan Z is a regular we have helped him on many projects including suspension set up on his 33 Ford Pick up , good guy but a bit quirky LOL

Cheers Paul, I love the Italian exotica, nothing like it , my 32 Ford Roadster runs an English Daimler Hemi V8 I built also with no info , they only made 1018 cars with the 4.5 V8 (Daimler Majestic Major) big ugly sedan Limo version used by The Royal Family no less

Nick, one of these days I'll have to talk watches with you. I have a small selection of watches, some of which are from the 1930s - 1940s. There are two that I would like to wear more often, but were repaired poorly. I attached pictures of the two I like most. The Hamilton was sent to a repair shop along with a friend's watches. Much time went by and when we finally started pressing the guy, suddenly the watches were available. First time I set and wound it, the minute hand popped off. I know it's friction mount, but come on!

Nice Gruen!! I have a newer Gruen, but I've been looking to buy a nicer vintage one just to have.

As far as other hobbies, I play music. I played in a band for 6 years ("Defense Breaks Down" on Itunes), and most recently in November, played Marching Horn in this performance:

. Used to play tenor drums in high school.

I don't work on watches but sure love them. Vintage cars and vintage watches go together. I have owned a bunch over the years. I really like the Gruen Curvex series. The favorites I have owned were a very beautiful black dialed Gruen Curvex Drivers Watch and a Movado Calendomatic. I wear a really nice, patinad Duber Hamden now
