MASTER MACHINIST
A TINKERER EXTRODINERE, THE GADGET MEISTER
I remember the first tools I made at the brand new state of the art George W. Wingate High School (600 Kingston Ave for you Brooklyn fans) in the metal shop. We had Zip before the post office could spell ZIP. You figure that one out. My lips are sealed.
I was in the first graduating classes at Wingate. Something new in 1958, it was the first racially balanced 50%-50% High school in the city of New York. It was on the border of two tough neighborhoods Bedford-Styvescent to the North and “Goodfellows Of Brooklyn" to the East-South. The expression no mans land comes to mind. More like we were the intersection of “ Gang and Mafia”.
It was one of those schools that needed to hold it’s Alumni gatherings at Riker’s Island.
Knives, Zip guns, those career decisions destined to make you acceptable at AU (Alcatraz University). This was the days of the book and Movie “The Blackboard Jungle”.
The machine shop classes were cool. I had a great teacher and learned the metal arts. One of my pet projects in a totally unauthorized program is spoken about today, the Jacobs Hubcap Remover.
The new improved HubCap remover It was one of my projects, not sold in stores, available in Midnight Black Only. You too can have a career in hubcap "restoration" for only $39.95.
Make it back on your first job even if you only got the front ones! Comes complete with instructions for both domestic and foreign jobs and you can make a lot of money restoring Hubcaps to owners.
