Summary
Crafty Tool Maker and Welder with 12 years experience in metal working. Pay much attention to detail and always set my goals high with the intention of always making myself better at my trade. Strive to always machine parts to extreme precision even when tolerances are great. Same with welding I pay much attention to detail. Away from work my mind is always consumed with designing and building with an idea in my head, to cad drawings, and on to welding. Spend hours at work and at home tig welding whether art work, repairs, or fabricated assemblies. Strive to learn as much as I can about my trade and metal working in general with much time spent reading and researching ways to make myself better. Very reliable employee with perfect attendance for most years at work.
