  • Thread starter StevenRice
  • Start date
In summary, an Elevator Constructor is a skilled tradesperson responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing elevators and other vertical transportation systems. They require a combination of mechanical, electrical, and computer skills to ensure safe and efficient operation. A Borderline Electrical Engineer has a similar role, but with a focus on designing and implementing electrical systems. Becoming an Elevator Constructor typically requires a 4-year apprenticeship program and may also require a high school diploma. Key skills for success include mechanical and electrical aptitude, attention to detail, problem-solving abilities, physical strength, and good communication and teamwork skills. Elevator Constructors must also follow strict safety protocols, including wearing protective equipment, following safety regulations and codes, and being aware of potential hazards.

Hello, my name is Steven Rice. I am a Veteran of the US Army. I took Electronics in a vocational high school. I was a Union Elevator Constructor, until 2012(Elevator Mechanic). In June of 2012, I was in a terrible motorcycle accident that almost killed me. I suffered a Traumatic brain injury, and broke everything on my left side. Now, I am disabled, and I cannot build elevators safely.

I am here, because I constantly come up with inventions. My main brain doctor even compared me to Nikola Tesla. I might change the world like Nikola Tesla.

Welcome to the PF, Steven. Thank you for your service (from an Army brat). :smile:

Very sorry that you were injured so severely (from a Medic) -- I've ridden motorcycles on the street and tracks (paved and MX), and luckily my injuries so far have been manageable. Feel free to send me a Private Message (PM) if I can help you with your first posts. Just click on my Avatar picture and Start a Conversation with me.

When you post in the technical forums to discuss your ideas, please be sure to post links to your reading so far in the mainstream scientific media. The better your links, the better we can help you. :smile:

I'm guessing it's because there are several sections to creating a post. There is a Summary section, and then down below there is a box for entering the body of the post. I just ran into the same problem trying to post a new thread.

Please try again, and look to see if there are different sections for creating a new post.

Thanks. You were absolutely correct. I didn't realize that the Summary is basically the same as the Title.
