If you LOVE your job...

[T_Baggins]

That's pretty impressive craftsmanship right there! Might I ask what those transitions are used for?

well the last ones we built were for some kind of ash, the after birth from dirt that was contaminated with oil.

Just the words after birth sent chills up my spine! Thinking of my daughter's birth 6 years ago...

Software Engineer here. Work on improving, fixing and making faster the 'database the runs the internet' (MySQL). Work from home in northern AZ so my backyard and garden is my office most of the year. In the winter I am forced into the basement

If it needed that big of a container that would sends chills down my spine as well

Haha! Not size...just the thought! Stop it!

 

[beaksnbeer]

Buhahahahah!

 

[gl_az]

Haahahah, no thanks T_Baggins. Lived there (Gilbert) for 13 years before we managed to get away to some place where asphalt is not a liquid. I still love the city though, just can't take the summer heat and traffic anymore.

It's a hopper for his grain mill... ;-)

I would sure hate to fall into the rollers!

I currently am a maint. tech at a distribution facility. I work 3rd shift and love my job. Work with a great team and get plenty of time off.

The pics are of some of the conveyor system I help to keep running. There's over 10 miles of it. All controlled by plc's.

We fill close to 150k orders on slow days.

The one with the orange line down the side is a sorter.
Here one of me inside changing a motor. (It has 14 of them.)

That's cool plumber_bob. I toured a Walmart distribution enter once when I worked for them. Crazy cool automation on the lines.

Nice TNGabe! this is what I'm talk'n 'bout ...love the pics. At my job I'm about to start construction of 66 hose reels that are 8' long and the spool ends are about 5' in dia. 57hrs per unit! The first two are going to a military show. I'll post pics in the near future.

Not my job Baggins. (you probably don't listen to 'Wait, wait, don't tell me) I was quoting PlummerBob. My job is buying crap at auctions and selling it for more than I payed. Less automation, better people watching.

oh..ha ha oops, I'm an idiot! Profit is always good!

Thanks a lot Jay! I really appreciate the compliment!

Nice work brother!

Thank you sir and I can tell you take great pride in your work also my brother. In that first picture looks like a Jatoba outline but what is the parquet made from? Is it Ash ? Anyway it looks great. Looks like you use waterbase. Thinking about switching to it 100% Getting tired of chemicals :cross:

Thanks bro!

The first photo is my personal floor.
It's actually white oak with a teak outline. The white oak was a pile of scraps that had been growing in my storage for over 15 years. I had so many different sizes that I decided on the parquet to use it all up. I did indeed use waterbase on it, due to the quick turnaround. I regret it though, as I prefer oil. I'm going to re-finish it after the new year and use oil.

Awesome. My second guess was white oak. Color is white oak but grain sure looked like ash. Keep the lost art alive my friend

It's Amazon so there's a good chance.

Looked like it, but you didn't say so right away so I though it might be hush hush.

Not really hush hush. But I'm not sure how much they like us to talk since they bought us. Used to be/is Zappos, but under the Amazon wing now.

Although, we've not been warned about posting pics yet, so I'm working in gray area here kinda, but not too worried yet.

pb --- Glad to answer any questions you have tho

I like my job but just like any other job it has its good days and its bad ones too.

I can't show any action shots because cameras are not allowed where I work.

But I work on these and I take great pride in the work I do. The men/women aboard these mammoths depend on the quality of work I do.

Shipfitter by trade.

 

[corkybstewart]

I sit behind a desk most of the time now, but I do love my job, especially when I get to go home every day and on payday. After almost 30 years working on drilling rigs in NM and Texas my desk job rocks.

Yes, I was in Everett last winter. Going to SD in a week.

 

[mpc88]

I work at an academic library processing book/ article requests practically all day. Half day on the computer processing, the other looking for the books throughout the library. It's a job and my co-workers can be a little nutty, but I don't mind it. I don't talk too much to my co-workers because the requests can pile up if you're not on top of them, and the turn-over rate seems to be going up. I swear like three people left already and I'm seeing new faces almost daily.
