metalworker

My father is a metalworker and I grew up with stacks of their encyclopedias all over my house.

I’m a union metalworker in the US shipbuilding industry— our products are expensive, but in very high demand domestically and internationally.

I'm not a welder or a metalworker, but I do know how to weld.

Just like bespoke that one bespoke metalworker made the entire 2013 line of camrys or that 8 year old t-baller who started for the yankees the next year.

Thirty years ago you'd want your kids to go to Harvard, sure, but you'd have been happy if they took an apprenticeship as an electrician or metalworker or what-have-you.

On my iPhone 6 (8.4) a short video of what seems to be a metalworker pops up and loops when I open your link from the HN iOS app.

This is engineering tolerance and it's same in every field; even a fine metalworker can be imprecise provided he stays within the defined range.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but as a recent white->blue collar convert, (union metalworker,) tech workers are usually far less qualified than your average vocational high school graduate, way less physically capable, and waaaaay less tolerant of the sort of workplace unpleasantries in these types of jobs at the entry level.

After: Takes a job at a nearby railway workshop as a metalworker assembling and repairing iron carriages; works in shifts under foremen; more regular wages and slightly higher pay; moves to a rail town, his kids gain access to a school; he loses some independence in his new setting but has marked gains in job security and cash pay.

As in, "worst case scenario I have to sell this gold to a metalworker/scientist/jeweler/whoever who worse with gold".
