you do good art work but how is your repair skills.

A big part of my job was doing repair work when I was at Chrysler. I did a little bit of everything: hydraulic cylinders off of fork lifts, tool steel fixtures from honing machines, coolant piping, ss dyno exhaust, aluminum fixtures, patching conveyors, fixing ss doors, so on and so forth. Taking something that is jacked up and making it work again is fun

Here is a piece I fixed off of a chiropractor's table. Cast aluminum, someone had "repaired" it by welding all the way around the crack. That obviously didn't hold. I v-ed it out and re-welded it.

Thanks man. That's too bad, hopefully it turns around. Another month and it'll be a year since I've stepped foot in the plant.
