Many of you who know me, know that I love to create. I’m not talking about what my wife would say about me creating something out of nothing at home, but more specifically my general love of engineering.
From a young age I have always asked plenty of questions, and enjoyed exploring and discovering how things worked. So it is suffice to say that I have a genuine interest in anything considered to fall under the umbrella of being creative and technical. Some people I’m sure would say I am most technically challenging, but those who know me well, know that I will get the most difficult of problems unpicked, rationalised and moved forward to the manufacturing stage of the development cycle.
To this day I still get a buzz out of providing design engineering services to clients to aid them achieve their own design goals. I especially enjoy refining a design that has plastic components as that is where, in my opinion, my best expertise and dedication lie. But although I find my day job satisfying, acting as a facilitator, translating the foundations of a design brief into something more solid, those of you who have read my other blogs will know that I also have a strong bond and unconditional love of old cars.
At the weekends you will find me in the Sanstec workshop discovering solutions to mend, rebuild and generally make work again a number of old, classic cars, that I am fortunate to have in my possession. This so-called work enables me to further my technical engineering and CAD design skills, allowing me to create re-engineered cars and engines from my own CAD designs. More importantly though, it reenergises and readies me for the creative client design work which lies ahead on Monday morning.
