Becoming an Employee

As metioned earlier in the updates pages –  a customer of mine lost their entire business. I have been assisting in getting quotes together for insurance company to pay out. They have finally settled. Here are a few pictures of the what was left of the business after the fie.

Here is a picture of the production press area. The steel building had foam insolation that burst into flames. An employee had decided to cut open a 45 gallon drum ignoring previous instruction that is was dangerous to do so and therefore not allowed. The barrel exploded when the worker started cutting and the entire structure was ablaze in seconds. Fortunately no one was injured.

I made a lot of this companies punch die tooling and with the recent family issues that we have had – decided to no longer work with that family member and rather for someone else.

 

 

Here is what is left of a milling machine and it digial readout.

As this company rebuilds I will be helping setup new equipment as well as setup presses and tooling to get them back into production of their grain drying floors.

As the next few weeks go by I hope to  get back into airguns. I miss building greatly. Thanks for reading.
