Summary

I am an organised, hard working individual who is looking to obtain a good foundation of skills in fabrication and boilermaking, as well as further the skills and knowledge I have learned while oxycutting and processing scrap from a large amount of different industries. while processing scrap such as whole escavators, buckets, dump truck bodies, wheel motors and differentials, silos, cooling systems and rail sticks, I have been very curious in their construction and fabrication and the thought processes that go into their creation. i would very much like to learn the skills associated with fabricating such items and build a better knowledge on materials and techniques for fabricating them for real world use.
