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 who was born in Quebec. I got kicked out of
                                                                         grade 9 school in 1973.
                                                                         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.
                                                                         I always keep the cost down and try to make the design simple.
