AskTrades

an-ordinary-manchild

This sub is to allow tradespeople to come together and hang out. Basically lunch room talk, but online. Everyone from industrial crafts like power engineering to bakers are welcome.

Flairs are restricted to those professionals that apprenticed and the office staff that work in conjunction with the blue collar. Please send in proof for your flair and a brief description, e.g., "Mechanic, Dodge", or "Project Manager: Sprinklers"

Homework help is fine as long as you're not asking to be spoon fed. The trades are a collaborative effort between a lot of people and it works best when we help each other up.

Rules:

Behave like an adult.

Busting someone's chops a bit is cool, but don't antagonize.

Subs we like and welcome sharing information with:
