<span class="postbody"><br><br><br><br><br>Oh, hi Joerg<br><br><br><br>very nice to read from you, I always suspected, that you come from somewhere around. <br>You can tell this because the way people talk ... and somehow the people out of the pott have something inexplicable. (very determined but mostly friendly)<br><br><br>I grew up in a small town near Essen. At a time without internet, no TV and no mobile phone, we were always playing outside. Had a knife and built us great things.<br><br>Then get older and a technical training in Dusseldorf, a couple of years work, then a degree in Industrial Design in Essen. Has been at the University of Essen. A few minor jobs (but unfortunately nothing which you could live from) but I loved this job and still building a lot of things.<br><br><br>Now I work as a Facility Manager in Essen. A good job. Gives me enough time for some crazy hobbies that I have.<br>One of them (since I was inspired by you) is building and shooting Slingshots. <br><br>Thank you for that, and thanks to everyone else out there, for all the great ideas and suggestions that you can read here in the forum. <img src="http://illiweb.com/fa/i/smiles/icon_cheers.png" alt="cheers" longdesc="28"></span>
