You've got your arse a job?

What do you charge? $100 short-time, $150 long-time?

Do you wax?

How far off prolapse are you?

What a sad reply. See you at Taupo this weekend.

Ya'd think the bro-in-law who was plumber while working on sewer pipe would of kitted up in protective gear to do so.

Good on ya mate, Engineering is awesome. Also means making stuff for car or bike is much more satisfying.

Anyone sent ya to get a "long weight" or "left handed screwdriver"?

I think he has worked for me too long to fall for that.

Something I would like to say... to put the trades in perspective.

Having done my time and Advanced Trade in Fitting Turning and Machining, I tried my hand at some University Engineering papers...

• Year one - piece of piss. I could have done the (end of year) exams with my eyes closed.
• Year two, more challenging, but an easy enough pass
• Year three I would have been struggling to pass, but reckon I nearly could (The maths got more high powered at that point).

There are some out there that'll look down on you for wearing overalls, being a tradesman etc. Fuck 'em. They have not got a bloody clue what it takes. There's a lot of pride working with your hands, and having worked alongside a few toolmakers I'll respect anyone with that trade under their belt.

LOL yeah - although the long weights a good one... if you take them up on it. Fuck off and have a seat, read the paper etc. They send you for a long wait, you let them do the job...

Watch out for the LH drill bit though - they're real...

Good on you young man, I take my hat off to you, getting a trade was one of the things in my life I most regret not doing.

Stick with it and get your qualifications. , you'll never regret it even if you don't stick with this particular profession for your whole life.

With the end of my 7th form year approaching i finished my last day at work experience yesterday, had a chat to the boss and he said he'd be more than happy to support me though a toolmaking apprentiship. Totally stoked right now, had the most awesome ride home!

DAMN, you lucky bastard! Congrats mate, that is brilliant.
A good trade is worth its weight in gold, almost literally these days. You show a good attitude already and seem to be a clear candidate for a bright future.
Good luck and well done.
