Uh We're 00:28.322 --> 00:30.322 integrated of sheet metal and metal 00:30.322 --> 00:32.656 tech . We're the modern day blacksmiths . 00:32.656 --> 00:34.933 We fabricate parts , skins of aircraft . 00:34.933 --> 00:36.989 We basically form everything by hand 00:36.989 --> 00:39.211 and we get the aircraft up for client . 00:39.211 --> 00:39.169 That's awesome . All right . So , so 00:39.180 --> 00:41.180 what are we getting into today ? Uh 00:41.180 --> 00:43.347 We're gonna do a little bit of welding 00:43.347 --> 00:42.930 today . Um So we got airman back here 00:42.939 --> 00:44.995 ready to teach you . And all right , 00:44.995 --> 00:44.700 let's do it . 00:49.520 --> 00:51.576 Good morning . Welcome to come by me 00:52.069 --> 00:54.291 and for , ok , we're gonna have you big 00:54.291 --> 00:56.291 welding , sir . There's not much to 00:56.291 --> 00:58.347 have you ever welded . I have welded 00:58.347 --> 01:00.458 once before , it wasn't pretty . Uh I 01:00.458 --> 01:02.513 didn't catch anything on fire but we 01:02.513 --> 01:04.791 got close trigger right here . You aim , 01:04.791 --> 01:06.958 you shoot as simple as that . You said 01:06.958 --> 01:06.339 point and shoot . You're speaking my 01:06.349 --> 01:08.571 language . I'm a defender by trade . So 01:08.571 --> 01:10.571 I , I can do that . Let's do this . 01:13.669 --> 01:17.180 Nervous , nervous , no excited . So how 01:17.190 --> 01:19.480 we usually do is we guide , we use our , 01:19.500 --> 01:21.910 our guide hand and then the hand itself 01:21.919 --> 01:24.889 to draw the pattern or , and I'm gonna 01:24.900 --> 01:26.678 show you right here a couple of 01:26.678 --> 01:28.844 patterns you could use , make sure you 01:28.844 --> 01:31.067 the color materials making contact with 01:31.067 --> 01:32.900 the base metal and you push down 01:32.940 --> 01:34.162 completely on the gun 01:41.239 --> 01:45.199 like bacon , like a pro . So , 01:45.459 --> 01:47.626 are you , I am a lefty actually , it's 01:47.626 --> 01:49.959 complicated . I throw left , I write 01:49.970 --> 01:52.069 right . I kick left . So I , I was a 01:52.080 --> 01:54.413 confused child . All right . Here we go . 01:54.413 --> 01:58.000 Closer , closer . OK . 02:05.760 --> 02:07.816 What , so I was going with for the E 02:07.816 --> 02:10.380 technique . Let's see . No , that's a W 02:10.389 --> 02:14.100 I screwed that up . So that's really , 02:14.110 --> 02:16.110 that's interesting because you just 02:16.110 --> 02:18.332 have to get in that groove because when 02:18.332 --> 02:20.499 you're in with the , with the helmet , 02:20.499 --> 02:23.410 no ST uh ged phd , you've been doing 02:23.419 --> 02:27.199 this a minute . It , where are you from ? 02:27.279 --> 02:29.057 Oh , I'm from uh New York , but 02:29.057 --> 02:31.001 originally born in Cameroon , West 02:31.001 --> 02:33.119 Africa . I came to the US when I was 02:33.130 --> 02:36.585 four years old so I speak French Jeremy . 02:40.345 --> 02:42.623 So I don't know what I just replied to . 02:42.623 --> 02:44.623 Nice to meet you . Oh , very nice . 02:44.623 --> 02:46.567 Assume the position with your real 02:46.567 --> 02:48.789 quick . Ok . Please do so . As you have 02:48.789 --> 02:50.956 your hand right here and you are going 02:50.956 --> 02:53.123 for it . You want to come up with more 02:53.123 --> 02:52.725 overhand . If you're gonna have it like 02:52.735 --> 02:54.791 that , you can lean it and just lift 02:54.791 --> 02:57.013 your thumb up a little higher to help . 02:57.013 --> 02:56.494 Oh , I see . 03:08.369 --> 03:11.750 You're natural that you are too 03:11.759 --> 03:15.220 kind . That's a , that's a product only 03:15.229 --> 03:17.340 a mom would love right there . Do you 03:17.340 --> 03:19.500 think you can write like hi mom or 03:19.509 --> 03:21.509 something like that ? You can own a 03:21.509 --> 03:23.620 separate piece ? I'll do it for you . 03:23.620 --> 03:25.620 I'll let you know if I'm capable of 03:25.620 --> 03:25.350 doing it . I'll start running out of 03:25.360 --> 03:27.582 this . OK . OK . Let's do it . Let's do 03:27.582 --> 03:28.479 it . Yes , 03:33.490 --> 03:35.212 they could like jo , jo , jo . 03:47.119 --> 03:49.360 Yeah , that is definitely harder than 03:49.369 --> 03:51.800 it looks . Oh my 03:55.720 --> 03:58.220 God . Quit lying . Integrity first . 03:58.229 --> 04:00.820 That is like a third grader did that 04:00.830 --> 04:02.774 and actually I think a third , I'm 04:02.774 --> 04:04.886 insulting a third grader . Oh , bro . 04:04.886 --> 04:07.100 So , so what would you say ? Like the 04:07.190 --> 04:09.301 your favorite part of this experience 04:09.301 --> 04:11.357 was being around people like you who 04:11.357 --> 04:13.190 care about their craft , who are 04:13.190 --> 04:15.134 professional , who have that laser 04:15.134 --> 04:14.695 focused attention to detail . It 04:14.705 --> 04:16.994 motivates me . It humbles me and , and 04:17.005 --> 04:19.116 all cheesiness aside , it inspires me 04:19.116 --> 04:21.283 to be better and to lead better . So I 04:21.283 --> 04:23.283 could not thank you enough for just 04:23.283 --> 04:23.154 spending time with me today , showing 04:23.165 --> 04:25.654 me the right way to weld uh and just 04:25.665 --> 04:27.887 getting after it , dude , I , I love it 04:27.887 --> 04:29.943 and I'm excited to have this mission 04:29.943 --> 04:29.364 with you for these next six months . 04:30.045 --> 04:32.267 Thank you . Let's do it , let's do it , 04:32.267 --> 04:35.049 let's do it . So , that was amazing . 04:35.190 --> 04:37.779 Um First time experience with uh our , 04:37.790 --> 04:40.739 our Combat Metal shop . First time 04:40.750 --> 04:42.917 really actually learning how to weld . 04:42.917 --> 04:44.972 I wouldn't call that learning how to 04:44.972 --> 04:47.139 weld . I , I would say that's being in 04:47.139 --> 04:49.194 the presence of greatness . It's the 04:49.194 --> 04:51.528 stuff that most people don't understand , 04:51.528 --> 04:53.583 don't see , frankly , probably don't 04:53.583 --> 04:55.694 appreciate . But without those jobs , 04:55.694 --> 04:55.149 the mission doesn't get done and I 04:55.160 --> 04:56.609 could not be prouder to be on that team .
