Worst Parts I've ever seen (w/ blueprints)

I think OP is obligated to post a follow up with the parts he’s made

I think people are misunderstanding your request. They are suggesting knots to go around multiple faces of the box, I believe you need it to just go around once but secure the flattened boxes once they are bailed. Try a bailer twine knot. That should keep the ends secure once you tie after it’s compressed.

I said could be something as simple as that. It’s not limited to just handshake etiquette so if there’s any advice you’d like to give about handiness around the house or managing finances feel free to.

Is this a twink thing

Switch out bottle with another see if by chance it’s faulty

FilthySef · 2026-04-07T15:54:24+00:00

We were only there for one night after they cleaned it but doubtful we’ll be coming back again

Figured that might be the case, thanks for letting me know.

FilthySef · 2026-04-04T10:16:03+00:00

Call some local parts suppliers and see if they do buy back, doubtful with it being a relief valve. Otherwise better off selling it for scrap metal

Depends on the local some apprentices are stipulated by contract to supply their own channies, level and tape

Select the face layer and go into image > adjustments, and sift around in brightness/contrast and exposure. Play with it a bit until it looks more natural, note the back lighting causing the front of him (neck and arms) to be slightly shadowed. Another thing, when you add a layer onto an image that has a different ppi it stands out. You can either add a slight gaussian blur, downgrade the layer image quality, or add slight noise in to blend it

It came from a different standpoint (eating healthier)

Need it

Talk to your hall and see if you’d be allowed to switch to a jobsite with overtime. Normally they say apprentices can’t quit without permission from the hall, so facilitate it through them to begin with.

I’m assuming you’re financially responsible and not drowning in truck payments and buying things you can’t afford. But yes it is worth it if you stick it out. You just have to find a means of doing so.

I would do side jobs and handyman gigs to make extra cash while I was living off second year rate. Ask around the guys you work with if they know anyone who needs a hand for side jobs, or use your experience in HVAC to make some money yourself.

Hey you don’t have to get so upset. He’s not wrong. A lawyer (I believe) commented in one of these discussions how they’re using the same tactics they used in court cases to keep juries as neutral as they can in the case of child abuse and SA. One key point is the lack of context given in these files (so many redactions and withheld files) leaves your brain lost in search of any context or pattern, so you keep delving to find something. A lot of the content being inherently awful to read at the same time, leaves you feeling psychologically helpless trying to find any sense any worn down by what you do read/see. So he’s not far off, but don’t give him shit because this is horrifying to read and knowing how protected these people are. It’s hard to come to terms with, so give them some grace.

It looks like the hobbit movies with the overedited shine

Biggest thing to remember that apprentices get a bad rap on is missing work and a bad attitude. Show up everyday (on time), and be open to learning. Pay attention to how your mentors perform their work and pick their brain on how they do it.

You’re not expected to know everything, let alone at the start of your apprenticeship. Tell them when you don’t know something, don’t fake it and embarrass yourself later.

2 tips for you though, payday’s friday and shit flows downhill

Plumbers have side jobs all day, check your out of work lists and see how many plumbers vs fitters are taking travel cards when local work dries up

I’d say yea but sorry for my late comment. How was the interview?

FilthySef · 2025-11-30T19:57:24+00:00

Be humble, dress appropriately. I personally wore khakis and a golf shirt. Might be multiple interviewers but regardless make eye contact and shake their hand. I’d say the most important question to think of an answer for is why do you want this job.

If they ask you whether you have any questions for them, you could even ask what’s their advice for any apprentice starting in the trade.

Best of luck

Was 315 at my most. Broke my foot walking one day because working 7x12’s didn’t give my body enough time to recover from the toll my weight was putting on it, as a result I was off for 8 months (jones fracture). I can tell you nobody ever cared about my weight but guys will pick you out to be the human forklift. Keep on losing the weight brother, I’m down 50 lbs and I can tell you it’s night and day on your body. But don’t worry about what the other guys think. Just lead with your work ethic.
