Summary
I left school after my GCSE's and wanted to get into construction, so I trained to be a joiner, for around 3 years that's what I did, then after a couple of bad experiences and some bad people I thought if fabrication might be a way forward to work with my hands, I gave it a shot and here I am, I don't have a talent for welding but I have a steady hand and a passion for it and in my eyes that's better, I work hard to meet my own high standards of work and I want to do a good job, I've been enjoying my time with welding so far and want to get better at it.
