    That actually sounds like a fun job. I used to block and brace equipment in the military when we deployed. Alas, but my wonder years are now behind me. ;)

    I hate to pollute the purity of Bertfish's thread for help wanted (forgive me brother) but still have to comment.

    Yer right Welder; Amazon uses an ungodly amount of material to package and ship a single small item at times. They are not tree huggers for sure.

    As far as working with wood... Crazy story. I know an E5 and a E7 in the 3rd ACR @ Ft Bliss, Texas. They both worked in the S4 section and one day they were cutting plywood together to make a hard shell on the back of a M35A2.

    So the E7 is zipping his circular saw down a sheet of plywood with the E5 holding it and all of the sudden the E5 jerks back and screams at him "You cut my thumb off" Sure enough... Ol' Sarge neatly separated his subordinate's thumb nail just above the first joint :D

    A shop rag applied as he went to the dispensary. He could still function fine after that and it was sort of funny thereafter.

    Fortunately I know of no such instances of bodily damage in our shop

    Years ago they had a guy killed in the old vertical lathe though. And one blown up when he struck an arc in a compartment which had been freshly painted.

    The only way anyone is getting killed at this job now is: not looking before crossing the street, or you could be impaled by one of the novice forklift drivers. : )
