Machinist?!

Someone got tired of outsourcing all that threading and just send a kid to go and learn it for the family?

Esrice and Dad have both been very supportive of my career choice, though whether they like the idea of me having a valuable trade skill, or the prospect of free gun parts and customizations, I'm not too sure. ^^

I think if I had to wager a guess... Ah, never mind

Great job repping INGO every day!

Holy Magilla Gorilla!

Now Kr_Treefrog2 is going to be a machinist too?

I just spent Friday evening with MonteryC6 and lovemachine envying their skills with the mills!

Now I too much learn these skills!!!

It's a blast, Rhino, it really is. I can't wait to get to school every day and play on the machines.

Sadly, I never even thought of taking some machining classes at good ol' Ivy Tech! I thought about welding, which I should also do.

Thanks!

Great to see machinists in training. I have to cringe seeing the long hair near a lathe though.

That's actually what she said about herself after she saw the report air. Apparently she's required to always have it pulled back and she doesn't remember letting it down.

I've been working in a machine shop for 16 years now. In that time, we only had one guy who had long hair working here. After his little accident, he always kept his head shaved.

in those sixteen years in the shop, why havent you made some tire spikes that make snow driving easier?

Speaking of which, if he needs a ride home, I can swing out that way..... in MY Jeep.

you can't even handle steps or a knife... I can't imagine you with machinery...

Is that a cake on your TV?

I don't know why it struck me as so funny, but I laughed for about five minutes when I read that!

So adapt and overcome the hatred, then answer his question!

Okay . . . you're onto something there.

Yep, that was me. Channel 13 News came to Ivy Tech today to get some footage for a segment about a car parts manufacturer that's opening in Carmel, and how there's a lack of skilled machinists in the workfield these days. I'm taking an accelerated Machine Tool course and learning manual mills and lathes, CNC mills and lathes, CNC programming, and MasterCam. I was turning a piece on the lathe at the time, getting ready to do some external threads when I suddenly found a camera in my face and in my space. The guy filmed me for probably 5 minutes or so. It was a nice angle they chose to air; the white INGO logo stood out nicely against the black. ^^ I wear that hat to school every day. It's my favorite.

Good for you, that's great!!!

*braingasm*!!! I just checked IVYTech's Advanced Manufacturing curriculum, and the Mechatronics Concentration is now available in Terre Haute!!!! Whoooo! I'm so jazzed right now! I think I know what I'm gonna be doing for the next two years!

So, when are you going to start producing your own gun parts?

There's the typical Mechatronics curriculum that takes almost two years and follows the normal school schedule, and there's also the accelerated 40 week program that has four 10-week quarters back to back with a week long break between quarters. All of Ivy Tech's 40 week accelerated programs award 48 credits total, just 14 credits shy of an Associate of Applied Science degree.
