Nice work Sal, "Old World" craftsmanship is becoming rarer and rarer these days.
Great to see it still survives.

This is what I do for a living - being a vet (at the moment in the United Kingdom)

Nice!...keep it coming guys, I would love to see what the rest of the family does here.
If there are other mason/carpenters, don't worry about making me look bad, I would be happy about it.

I am a Mason too but not a stone mason..!!

[anglingarchitect]

That is masterful masonry, the mortar joints are perfect. As an Architect and Contractor Ive seen a fair number of Masonry jobs but it just doesn't get better than what Sal showed us.

No picture, but I did 43 yrs with Southwestern Bell/AT&T. Started out as an outside installer/repairman, then moved inside, maintaining various central offices. Next, I began installing central office equipment (and central offices) then maintaining computerized trunk testing equip. Switched to management, maintaining midrange computer systems that provided special services on your phone, such as 800 service, internet caller id and many others. Retired now.

Nice stonework Sal, there is a lot of stonework done in Jersey (Channel Islands) where I originate from.

I am a carpenter and joiner by trade, spent the last 51 years at it!!

Like Tile, I'm a veterinarian. I owned my own practice for 23 years, burned out, sold, slowed down, and now I work 3-4 days a week for other veterinarians as a relief vet. That gives me 3-4 days a week to devote to fishing. I burned out in 2010 (it wasn't fun at all), and it's taken me 5 years to be able to enjoy what I do again. My main interest is veterinary dentistry. Yeah, I know, you didn't know dogs and cats have teeth. Wait, you did know that. You didn't know they needed to be cared for. Regularly. If not, things happen that you don't really see on the outside, but when there is serious gingivitis and periodontal disease the whole pet suffers. A dog/cat with a well-cared-for mouth ages more slowly and lives longer in greater comfort; all that inflammation is hidden when the mouth is closed (it is, most of the time), but it takes a toll on quality of life - that thing that is most important to us veterinarians. So my photo of what I do is a dental x-ray of the molars of a dog. There is serious periodontal disease on the molar on the left. Notice the space between the tooth and the bone; that's a problem. If you have pets it is in their (and by extension your) best interest to take proper care of their mouths. They don't teach us dentistry in vet school (like they don't teach dentistry in medical school). As a consequence, most veterinarians don't know squat about dentistry. It would be in your (and by extension, your pet's) best interest to find a veterinarian proficient in veterinary dentistry. If you are concerned, PM me and I'll help you out the best I can. I know a lot of veterinary dentists in the US (not too many in the UK, sorry Tile).

I'm not passionate about too many things. Fishing/reel collecting and veterinary dentistry complete the list. You know plenty about fishing and reels. If you want to know more about how to care for your pet's mouth, PM me. Please, not here, PM me. I know veterinarians all over the US that can help you care properly for your pet's mouth. I'm done, and stepping off my soap box now.

[HOLEINTHEWATER]

Worked for Honeywell for 32 years. The last 15 I took care of all there production equipment. The last 13 years I have been working for AZBIL North America. I build and set up magnetic flow meters and pressure transmitters.
I have no artistic skills , but would like to share James's rock work. The one's that have been here for a while know the HOLEINTHEWATER crew. James and I have been friends scenes high school.  His health has gotten really bad, looks like no more fishing with the crew.
