I'm a REAL Ironworker, now

Ilander · 05-23-2005, 09:35 PM

Just realized the irony today at work, while grinding down some steel channel. I am an Ironworker (at least for the summer) in more than one sense of the word. Anybody else do any industrial fabrication?

Ironworking is a wonderful thing

LOL congrats Ilander! Watch out for the vibrations if you pound something LOL! Guess that makes you an Ironworker Ironworker LOL (IWIW).

Something like that

I get to grind and weld and beat things with a hammer, and cut things with various highly dangerous objects like the ominously named "Plasma-cutter" or an acetylene torch, or a horizontal band saw...

OOOOOhhhhh, all the ways I could crush, break, or impale myself...

I used to grind gears for a living, back in my college days. Used to stamp metal parts, too. Spot-welded a couple of times, but that wasn't really my strong suit.

Congrats on the new job! Hope it works out well for the summer.
