Work History

- This was a custom fab shop that manufactured everything from stainless steel pressure tested tanks used for farming to structural work on columns and beams.
- Most jobs here I was handed a blueprint and would analyze them with our shop foreman to come up with a plan. After that I would Fabricate, triple check, then weld out myself.
- The majority of the welding done at this company was Mig, metal-core, or flux-core depending on the position and material thickness.
