BTTT for the people looking for work. D

 

Great opportunity that would be amazing, my only problem is that my experience is nowhere near the level that your looking for! While I have used those tools before, it literally is only once or twice.

Good luck finding someone to compliment your beautiful shop!

 

Damn! No need for an Electrician?

 

Red Baron keep at it. i've seen you over at All metal Shaping.

no we don't need an electrician especially a "drunknbroke" one HAHA

 

I will! The more I learn, the more I realize I dont know! Haha!

 

Wow, I'd love an opportunity like that! Checked out your shop pics, looks like you guys have high standards and do fantastic work - everything appears nice and clean, a great draw for customers. I've got a decent fab and design background but I'm about 1800 miles too far north - make an unbearable commute!

well we hired a couple of people and all though they we're great guys. things didn't work out. so we're still in the market for 2 qualified people.

 

Smokie when ya leaving? lol

 

I aint worth a flip at it. But if I ask you for a job can I use you as a contact for one of my 3 for the week?

BTTT

 

I would fill out an application, but I'm afraid you'd give me a job! LOL. I hope you find the help you need!

would LOVE to work in a place such as this!! dunno how to go about gettin a green card tho...

 

This is an awesome shop and puts out quality work. I would love the commute, but I think I am too much of a hack to work there.

 

I don't want to sidetrack this too much, but..... How does the 4 day work week work out for you and the crew. It sounds awesome to me just wondering if everyone digs it.

 

we don't dig it we LOOOVE it. we have more time with our families, projects, hobbies.

we have a Kiwi working for us now.

if your scared go to church. hahaha otherwise send us your resume and pics of previous work. preferably in progress not before and after.

 

thanx for the props.

 

Awesome!! what part of NZ is he/she from? and doin what kinda work?

 

^^^^ he's a fabricator with a lot of race car experience. tell him what you want and walk away.

South Island 2hrs south of Christchurch. a very small town.

 

sounds like he's a great amb***ador for our smallish country!! bet he's from Timaru then... I'm a few hours further south of there..inland from Dunedin. Is he a hamb member?

 

^ no, he's not Hamber. but yes he's cool guy to work with.

 

Hi just saw your post for a metalshaper on the Hamb. I have a build thread that shows some of my work/how I think/plan & execute. If, after reading my thread you have an interest in my skills, please contact me.

The build thread is 'Inspired by Ed Roth, ...'
As the end of the build thread states I have since had to liquidate my entire shop. I am completely without bodyshop/metalshaping tools. However the skills/desire don't go away.

My wife & I are soon to be mobile (living in a motorhome). I will be purusing work as a welder or 'fill in the blank'. Tools can be acquired, I built a lot of mine while I was in my own shop, including a 'long-arm design, Helve hammer' Now that was a metal moving machine! If you look carefully at the end pictures for the back corners of the Cutl*** build you will see a very impressive reverse curve, fabricated using the helve hammer and the Metlmaster(American version of a pullmax) with a set of my pie shaped thumb-nail shrinking dies.

I also have an old ad on the Hamb for 'Desoto grille teeth' that I used to make from flatsheet.

Let me know if you are interested in additional conversation.

I am known on Metalmeet, but almost all of my posts were lost in the 'Great Data Crash' of a few years ago. A few may remember me on 'all metalshaping' too.

 

still looking....

already spoke to Dan "Steelsmith"

 

If your that busy with metal work projects why dont you farm the work out to a real metal shop, There must be at least a hand full in so cal by now? yes just a hand full! one that just does metal work? I understand the "we do it all thing" (in house) but if your backed up your backed up. just my two cents good luck.

 

there is no need to farm out the work.


we've hired quite a few people. they all seem to over sell themselves. just yesterday we hired a guy who said he could handle metal, body & paint. he only lasted 5 hrs. he was fired the same day.

 

so..what are they all doin wrong? just curious?

 

....Why did I have to be an airplane guy?.... Lemme know if you need any aluminum work done..also, I'm hell with a broom.

 

Looks like a great shop. Your not on a plane heading over yet ??

dunno if they'd have me mate!? ...

 

not all of them didnt work out because lack of skills.

 

Good luck! You guys are putting out great stuff! Why do people say they can do stuff when they can't ???? I dunno!?!?!?
