About Me

My photo
Larry
I am an engineer by birth. I am also a woodturner, husband, father, grandfather, and uncle. I started woodturning in 2004 but have worked with wood for much, much longer (furniture, home repairs, etc.). In 2008 I served as president of the Mid-South Woodturners Guild. In 2016 I was honored with an Honorary Lifetime Member Award by MSWG. In 2018-19 I agreed once again to serve on the MSWG board as a member at large. In 2021-22 I served as the board's Vice President and Webmaster. In 2023-2024, I served as the board's Secretary and Webmaster. In 2025 I am, upon request, completing the final year of the former Treasurer's term.

Engineers

en-gi-neer (a definition) n.

A person trained to put scientific knowledge to practical use. Actually enjoys using math and science on a regular basis. typically never gives up until the problem is solved. sometimes is obnoxious in insisting a task must be done the "right way."

To the engineer, all matter in the universe can be placed into one of two categories: (1) things that need to be fixed, and (2) things that will need to be fixed after you've had a few minutes to play with them.

Engineers like to solve problems. If there are no problems handily available, they will create their own problems.

Normal people don't understand this concept; they believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it ain't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.

No engineer looks at a television remote control without wondering what it would take to turn it into a stun gun. No engineer can take a shower without wondering if some sort of Teflon coating would make showering unnecessary. To the engineer, the world is a toy box full of sub-optimized and feature-poor toys.

Great Quote

"We trained hard - but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams, we would be reorganized. I was to learn that later in life we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing, and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency and demoralization." [Attributed to Petronius Arbiter, Greek author, 66 A.D.]
