Ed Betlinski

Born and raised in Chicago, IL. After graduation started an apprenticeship as a Pattern, Mold and Modelmaker and became a Journeyman. Had the opportunity to run an Aluminum Foundry, which was part of the Company where I became a Journeyman. Later I joined a Foundry Equipment Company and sold Foundry equipment worldwide. For 10 years before I retired I sold Foundry equipment in Asia basing myself in Hong Kong. In 2008 I retired to the Philippines, where my wife was born. I built a small shop and have been showing kids and grown ups how to use and work with tools while building things. I enjoy this and plan to expand my shop.
