Hello everyone.

My name is Damien and I'm here to help. I truly believe OSE is the future. Our world needs this and so much more. If we can just reach critical mass in terms of participation we will begin to create the new world we all need.

I have a variety of skills, primarily based in technology. A jack of all trades sort of fellow by nature, I am a voracious learner. I've worked in metal fabrication and mechanics off and on most of my professional life. I have many years of welding under my belt. I've designed and built several machines over the years, taking projects from conception to finished prototype many times.

Here is one of them: http://www.gendrontec.com/projects.htm

More recently my background is in CNC Machining. At the moment I work in the Film Industry in Vancouver British Columbia as a Special Effects Technician and Props Builder. I excel in these departments because I have such a variety of transferable skills. I have solid computer knowledge (IBM PC) as it applies to 3D modeling, CAD/CAM and general graphics. I am an Advanced Class Amateur Radio operator. I have a firm grasp of electronics. Having worked so much in the CNC world I have had significant exposure to the control circuitry involved.

Last but not least I am a great 3D Mechanical Draftsman. This is where I think I could be most helpful right now? Programs I have used include AutoCad, Solidworks, Rhino, ArtCam, MasterCAM and many more.

I look forward to working with you all on something I feel this passionate about. Feel free to contact me with any ideas dawgenca(at)shaw.ca. I would be interested in creating a local OSE chapter.

Lets do this!

Damien
