This was my first real job after high school. i shovled sand around the machines so it wouldnt cause any problems operating. then i got to learn how to run all 4 machines on the north end of the building to give breaks for lunch. then i lurned how to pour hot molten iron to give breaks to the iron pourers as well. I done that for 3 years.

Then i moved from breaking people out to the pattern storage, there i would bring new mold patterns for the next work day and take the old mold patterns back to storage and put them up. we eventually got new racks for the pattern storage and i was able to make a exel spread sheet on a computer and lable the racks to where every mold pattern had a spot to live. Each pattern had its own product number and every mold had its own cubby rack. then after doing all that i got moved back to pouring iron. i dont ever ask for raises and i didnt get one for 3 years and i was offerd a job at Carolina growler and i took it.
