I got into metal fab work 13years ago... Went from Rent a Center to M&M Fabricators. there I started stacking steel behind a metal shear. From there to running a brakepress. Now that started out with someone else setting it up and me just stepping on the peddle and bending the parts. That changed into me setting up and running the press all the time. Older guys taught me everything I learned. So I hope that the young bucks will take some advise from a seasoned guy like you. I was 23 then and 36 now and l love to learn from my seasoned elders to this day.I am have to learn a new job at Truck driving school. I love to here the different storys from the guys that have drove the road for years and came back to to teach a young buck like me.... Hope I could help you out
