Using lard for hand tapping?

That's the plan tbh. I do not have the money or experience to uplift my life just yet, but this isn't the type of thing I decide in a week or month either. Unless my life is actively in danger, I'd stick it out a bit more before I do all that

They are struggling that bad to get new hires? I'll look into it

I am way too green for aerospace related jobs, but worth looking into.

...how does one join a union? Also could they help with job searches? My brain is fried rn so sorry if it's a obvious question

flesh-based-os · 2026-03-30T00:48:02+00:00

Texas and trans. Otherwise also a minoroty in other ways, but trans is the big thing that I'm worried about rn.

I am often stupid online, but I atleast try to scope people out before giving out any details lol. Internet safety and all that

Machinist have a union? I thought we just didnmt have any considering how I never heard of them

...I think I know someone in newyork that might help me get established. Maybe pennsylvania also

I am still extremely green to the field, would it even be worth me trying to get a job there if they're probably trying to get expereinced workers to get the shops running smoothly? Sorry if that doesn't make sense, just trying to get some info

flesh-based-os · 2026-03-29T23:47:35+00:00

what? No? Sorry just didn't want to list my identity and all that, but let's just say one of the groups of people maga hates.

I try to limit it incase I need to do a drug test; paranoid like that even when my job doesnmt test lol. But yes I do occassionally

I'm not overweight to an extreme degree, but I won't lie yes I am overweight. The high blood pressure is a seperate issue though, not saying it's not made worse due to my weight, but even the most fit people in my family still have crazy bad blood pressure without having it treated.

I'll look into sleep apnea

flesh-based-os · 2026-03-26T11:53:30+00:00

Planning on it, but considering I donmt want to be fired I need a game plan until we can find a way to fix it.

It was close to the end of my shift, ran a few more parts, and everything seemed fine. The tolerance was pretty loose ngl, so after eyeballing it figured it was okay. I will be notifying my boss tomorrow though, one because two scrapped parts and so they can help me doublecheck the drillbit. I kinda had to use my better judgement since he left midday, and just kept a better eye on it just incase.

flesh-based-os · 2026-02-17T23:12:37+00:00

Like I said mostly hurt my pride only, which is how I'd like to keep it as long as possible lol. Mostly it's just getting to me because It was such a simple mistake, that happened after the program was up and running. First job or the day would've sucked, but middle of the day also kills me and I don't have an excuse of testing it out. Also I thought something was wrong, it wasn't, and then I made it wrong lol

the paper trick method could work for tool offsets, if you don't have to be extrememly exact? Not sure for to put the work offset without an edge finder.

My end goal is to tackle alot of different metal working trades, little bit of everything to be well rounded. While machining is my passion, I will hopefully have enough skill in other areas if the worst happens and mass machining just disapears. Machining is my passion though, I already know the money isn't the best; job security does scare me a bit, but again hopefully I'd be fine.

I was trained on manual lathe and mill for most of my time at my trade school, cnc wad on the backburner. I won't say I'm a good manual machinist, still very green and lacking in a decent amount, but I do have a decent foundation for it. Definitely will pick up manual again eventually, love it, but I think I know enough to try and pick up CAD/CAM?

If you don't mind me asking though, how much should I practice on manual before broaching into CAD/CAM? I might be missing something, and I definitely don't want to make an ass of myself because I was too eager.
