Welcome to my website
Since I was a
young boy, I was always fascinated by mobile equipment.
When I designed and built a new machine, I felt like a young boy again.
I am
a French Canadian born in Quebec. I am bilingual
with the ability to speak,
and write French and English. I got kicked out of grade 9 school in 1973 then
I did a heavy duty mechanic course in 1977 and I worked as a
heavy duty mechanic
until I started working in the mining industry as an underground mechanic.
I moved
to Ontario in 1987, then later in 1994 went back to college to graduate
as a Mechanical Engineering Technologist.
This is where I learned to read, write and speak English more fluently.
I like to design different small machines and my plans help people to built them.
All machines are computer designed in 3D then in 2D for the drawings.
always keep the cost down and try to make the design simple.
