fishing and the trades

[hightechdecks]

it seems to me that many fellow anglers i have met over the years are tradesmen of some type. I am a trim carpenter and interior finisher but have also been into framing and insulation. any other trades out there?

sorry to hear about your fall chuckles...you are a jobsite hero. hope you are still running stuff through the saw from time to time

I'm a millwright and I agree it does seem that alot of tradesmen are also fishermen.

Not a tradesman but I am getting in over my head alot these days with odd jobs around the house. Most recently the shower in the basement apartment broke and I had to tear apart some of the dry wall to get to the elbow behind the wall. The cheap aluminum shower neck broke at the threads inside the elbow so I had to use a punch to work the metal out from inside the elbow before I could install the new neck and then I had to patch a 1' square hole in the wall.

May not sound like much to the seasoned tradesmen but for me it was a pretty serious job lol.
