What did you do at work today?
- Thread starter six5creed
- Start date
Drilled and tapped some holes in 304 stainless for a customer who did the lathe work themselves. I noticed the chatter in the bore and looked at the print and wondered how they held the tolerance with it looking like this. Then I measured it and figured out they don't know how to read prints either, whew. Looks like they may have tried a straight knurl tool to try and tighten it up, lol. #2 looks a little better but it's still to big.

Psh, tagalongs is the only Girl Scout cookie there is. The rest are just list fillers.
That's nice of you, kids only know what they're taught. Their parents on the other hand, I wouldn't mind throwing some rocks at them.

Well, I've got two weeks into my new career. The first three days were so darn slow. Won't go into that. Been reading learning new codes and just processing. Went out into the field and did ride along inspections. They warned us that we would be seeing a lot of bad/wrong plumbing installations. Wow, were they right.
Tuesday-Thursday, this week, my ride a long inspector threw me under the bus and said these are your inspections go get them. Out of the 25 inspections I did, only one passed with no corrections.
The hardest part so far, has been learning the computer software, logistics and the new codes. I work from 7-3:30 everyday, no overtime and I like it so far.:thumb:

Ugh I miss the days of no containment.
Shits a joke, gotta love those northern liberals.
I'm getting to move my first canebrake, I'm dreading it.

Ya it sure is nice not dealing with a liner or containment. Big closed loop system so the locations seem big. No invert is a bonus too!
What's a canebrake? Like a breakhandle style?

McRat said about Casper "you can't buy memories, you have to make them". That applies to everything, the customer that brought this jackstand in knows it can be fixed here or he wouldn't have brought it and he knows he can buy a new set cheaper than fixing this one. He said 5 words that made me want to fix it for him to the best of my ability. He said "they belonged to my dad". I should have wanted to fix it and give the customer what they wanted instead of trying to get him a new set made overseas. I learned something from him this week and that is give the customer what they want even if you have a cheaper solution. He ask me to beef it up and do the other one too. I pray that my kids respect me enough to where they think about me the way this man thinks about his dad when I'm gone. I know I respect my dad this way and he's still here.
