About
CHISELS PLANES & STUFF rrcollectibles1877 A short history. At 11 years old, in the summer of 1960, I had 8 different part time fobs. Mostly relating to newspapers. Some yard maintenance and some babysitting. At first, I walked my routes in a small, at the time, in the outer edges or LA county. Eventually I was able to purchase a new Western Flyer bicycle form Western Auto on the payment plan with my mother cosigning. It was $5.00 a month for 10 months. I loved the bike. At 16 years old I left home and worked full time in a metal fabrication department for a company that made patio furniture. I was the second fastest production operator on the brake and punch out presses in the plant. The Forman was the fastest. Also crushed 4 digits on my hands. At 19 years old I was a Sargent in charge of an Airborne Infantry Squad which had a M-60 machine gun crew. I was sent to the Republic of Viet Nam. Was wounded in the end of 67. When I came home I couldn t find a comfortable place to work so started my own business. In the late 60s and early 70s I made leather products, sold to a few stores and on the streets of San Francisco to the tourists. One of the first shops I sold to, when they had only two stores, was the Gap. After about 10,000 belts and a good number of bags, satchels and key fobs I moved on to Jewelry. I started selling my silver as a San Francisco Street Artist (San Francisco Street Artist License No 28) As I got into gold and precious gems I moved on to art shows first in Florida then eventually up the entire east coast along with the mid-west. Atlanta, Virginia Beach, New York City, all the big towns in Ohio, then on to Detroit, Ann Arbor, Chicago, and many cities in between then back down south. While doing the touring I received over 70 awards for design and craftsmanship. By the time I was 40 I had my own jewelry store and became a Graduate Gemologist (GIA) in Delray Beach Florida. I designed, manufacturing, sold and appraising jewelry for 1100 families.

Not so much about the title.
I found the book to be boreing in as much as it was sparce about the battles in the Highlands amd more about the writers life in the army. The battles in the highlands were of generalizations and not spacfic. the story of army life was long and detailed.
