    Yeah I don’t get it. Everyone around here is hiring, no matter what field it is.

    Which leads to a parts supply issue, that leads to other parts supply issues. It's getting crazy. We've been having to do some creative stuff, especially when we can't get certain higher risk failure motor/gearboxes that are pretty integral to our sorting system.

    Here too.. and yet people don't actually want to work. They seem to want everything handed to them and will walk away from a job if someone looks at them. So incredibly frustrating to me.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    People want careers where they don`t really work and think they need a $100,000 to start.

    The welding Fabrication skilled trades has been looking for help for years most places have given up .

    As skilled employees retire it takes several new hires to replace them or so I heard over the holidays .

    I wish I could still work.

    Reserected from the dead.
    I took the day off to work with F360 and learn about Mirroring. Holy cow! What a time saver!

    I designed 1/4 of the leg mirrored and joined that so I had the top half, then mirrored the top half and joined those to give me a complete leg.

    I like what I have now, so I'll form up and save the Gcode for when I get back to the plasma table.Screenshot 2022-01-16 132656.jpg
