Machining is my main thing. Work at a 24/7 manufacturer automotive supplier and do my best to keep things running, LOL. I'm old so I have a good bit of experience with progressive stamping dies, drop forging, cold forging, etc. in addition to manual machining, fixturing, CNC programming, and I have a marginally decent eye for troubleshooting mechanical processes. If I'm not at work, lifting, or spending time.with the wife and the beast, I do occasionally like to make things go "boom"?

Do a tad of welding if needed to repair or fabricate, but not certified as a pipe welder/shipyard welding.
You know what it's like when your job requires you to hustle.
As far as the night shift, I've pretty much always been a night owl. Plus I don't have to deal with as many people, which is better for everyone. However, they are shifting my hours more towards a modified day shift, the Engineering dept. is trying to bring me into their area full time?
