Murphy dictates that if it is -50 and you're in a trench, that somehow it's going to be wet. My limit for that sort of thing is -20.
Our machinist here is also quite proficient at welding. It would be a big pain if he weren't. Some of the mechanical engineering research jobs require precise welded and machined objects for pressure vessels and that sort of thing. Back when we had a machinist that wouldn't do any work, I had some parts made by an outside machinist. He had to get someone else to do the welding, but anyone that was halfway proficient at welding could have done it. I'm sure he would have made quite a bit more money if he could have done it himself. |
