He was actually a joiner by trade, and went tech college, etc, not one of

boilermaking, turning, stone masonry, exquisite drawings,

He probably picked it all up reading Practical Mechanics or some similar
magazine whose monthly contents page looks something like

- An Easy-to-Make Tricycle for the Children
- Building Your Own Observatory
- Practical Nuclear Power For the Suburban Home
- How To Change A Kettle Element

Heh heh. Old George - still working well into his '70s, probably would
have. He reckoned the chippie was in charge of all the trades, where there
was no actual foreman. So made it his business to know at least as much as
anyone on site. Just like IMM thinks he does. But George actually did.

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.

Remind us of which college you claimed to go to so we know which one to
avoid?

FWIW, many schools when he were a lad taught technical drawing, applied
mechanics, and woodwork or metalwork.

A pick it up type has no technical education and think he knows it all.

Firstly you are the one who started the arguing not me. Secondly you are
not very bright, who comes across as one of these know-it-all pick it up
types. Sad but true.

I am sure that I'm not alone as being a "pick it up type" and someone

I'm not 'making a hero' (whatever the **** that means) I was simply
reminding people on a DIY tip that a rticular prog was on at a certain
