Mechanical Artist

Man, I am a real artist in my work.  In my month here,
I have created an entire microscope in the computer. 
Lots of others did work on it before I got here, but I
put it all together.  Carefully crafted each part. 
Checked and rechecked to make sure all the parts would
work together, gave it style, gave it life.

Now Hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent
buying molds and castings, plastic parts and machined
parts.  Hundreds of people here will have work making
what I have created.  Even after I am dead, people
will still have the microscope I created in their
cabinets.  Students will learn science on them.  Grade
school kids will see their first microscopic amoeba on
one of these.

We are also working on getting the manufacturing kinks
out of the Leica microscope I designed that is made
here.  I walk through the machine shop and it is my
prints hanging on the wall.  Things that were just
images in a computer in Buffalo are now hard metal
parts that I can touch and love.
