I took on welding along side my father because he is a business owner and is who I work for currently “V-Rod Industries”. Along side him working from home and later on working inside a shop, I learned to keep control of my own skills, asking questions about stuff I was unsure about and led to learn a lot far down the road with more to come. A good factor of experience I’ve learned is how to operate a forklift to move around heavy machinery and products we produced. I’ve always been ready to take on jobs and orders to ensure quick craftsmanship. I’ve learned to take on skilled MiG Welding on light or heavy materials and operating machinery such as cutting saws, plasmas, and grinders in which carry a dangerous factor in working if not operated correctly. Provide cleanliness around the workspace to prevent lost equipment and well rounded work surfaces.
