deff on topic, Fred was the ultimate DIY'er

He was actually a joiner by trade, and went tech college, etc, not one of
these pick it up types.

yeah, right, chippies just *know* how to do steeplejacking,
boilermaking, turning, stone masonry, exquisite drawings,
etc, etc, they don't pick it up along the way

Are you saying he wasn't a chippie?

no, I'm saying he *was* one of those pick it up types

how else would he have accomplished everything he did without
picking a few skills up along the way, however he got them, at
college, from books or getting tips of his wide circle of mates ?

your theory that he was 'not one of these pick it up types' is seriously flawed

No theory involved. Fact: he was a college educated joiner. He was taught
technical drawing, which he used in many of his subsequent projects. He was
able to fall back on his college education to help him along. He had that
technical education base, which also gave him technical analysis and the
ability of technical understanding.

what was the /point/ of your original comment that he wasn't one of these
pick it up types ? why make that comment if not to start some sort of row ?

there are some right argumentative tits on usenet, you're one of them.
have a word with yourself [plonk]
