Mile stone (for me anyway)

Post by ozbilt »

50 years ago today I started on my journey as a Panelbeater. Still learning, but starting to get the hang of it .........

There has been a bit of :wbash: and some :$ but I am still loving the challenge each day brings.

Nice to look back on a trade that has been very good to me and has taken me all over the world.

All the good ones are retirering or dying off.
I will someday think of something clever to say.

50 years and still enjoying it albeit you probably drink more tea now while pondering why you have taken on some of the jobs you have... I celebrate with you over a cup of tea! :drink:

Congratulations, most panel beaters have pulled the pin by now. Most shops only replace panels these days, don't know how to panel beat.
Good to see you still enjoy your craft.
Cheers

Not often you find someone who can say they still enjoy their trade after half a century. Well done Kerry.
