Job search - Metal fabrication


Where: outside of the GVRD, preferably in Nelson, Tofino, the Gulf Islands, the Sunshine coast, Haida Gwaii, or Whitehorse.

What: preferably, but not necessarily, as an assistant to a artist with their own wetal fab ticket.

- metal props
- metal sets


My mad skillz include
- blueprint reading
- first aid level 1
- Workplace Hazardous Material Information System
- HILTI nailgun
- gas-metal arc welding
- cutting torch
- plasma cutter
- brazing
- forklift
- metal lathe
- fine metal work
- estimating loads for cranes
- paint-room use
- respirator use
- fall-harness
- most of the equipment in a metal shop

I'd very much appreciate any advice on where to look.

Do you mean the East coast of America? I'm actually amending my Michigan Birth Cert right now. Can you tell me more as to where and what knid of fabrication? I'm looking ot live somewhere small and full of artists, hippies and/or queers - so if it's in NYC, I might have to take a pass.

For some reason I thought you were on the west coast of canada. The work i could get you would be more like homophobes, racists and misogynists.

Yup. I'm in Vancouver.

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll find work over here.
