Re: some cool recent fab work
if you had to go through all the work to make that 100$ an hour you would understand,
rubber gloves perfectly clean table perfectly clean work, when you finish have to take out all weld color carbon clean clean clean etc
It is unbeleavably alot of work to do the food work lol you might make 100$ an hour but that is real work during that time
