So as much of you know I love fixing tools. Place I buy parts through a tool repair shop , offered me a job a while back and just took him up on the offer . Doesn’t pay much but lots of experience and get to work on tools and get deals ?. I took a couple pictures of the place for yas .

That’s a dream job. I worked in the construction trades for a summer before I started on the RR. I had a job in the tool room for a month on a several hundred million dollar project. All I did was check tools in/out, clean and service them, charge batteries, and make minor repairs. Got $23 an hour to play with tools. That’s pretty good money now, but it was great money 15 years ago for a kid a month out of high school with no kids and one bill. Best job I ever had.
Then after a month an older guy returned to work on light duty and my ass got booted to a scaffold crew. Being the youngest guy on the crew I was the gopher.
From the pictures it looks like every repair shop I have ever been in. Organized chaos
a pic of one of my last jobs in the shop. 306 foot tall 18ft dia. chimney liner from 444 stainless built in 40 ft sections and placed and welded on site.
