Metal working
instruction, regulation, insurance, safety, etc
Otis has a basic metal shop and is not shy about a bit of welding or grinding. He needs to know that you have at least a little experience. Are you able to repair the brush hog when needed? He’s been thinking about re-mounting the jack on that old trailer - is that something you can even do? He once made a nice latch for the barn - have you ever done anything like that?
