Thanks to you all

I'm in the garage working on a customer order, and I really couldn't help but think to myself that I'm really grateful to the lot of you here in this forum.

Same goes for both my personal friends here that have bought stuff from me, and pushed me to follow this endeavor, and those here I've never met before for trusting me to fulfill their needs. Whether it was a custom one off part, some misc item I made and sold, or something I fabricated here locally.

I got into welding just some 3+ years ago and I feel like I really took off with it. It's fun and I've enjoyed learning a lot along the way. Then I got into CNC plasma, and I'm enjoying that as much (if not more) than I do welding.

Sure, I do stuff locally and already have repeat customers coming to me weekly even for small parts. Even a local business I supply parts for. But the majority of the things I make are actually stuff I ship out all over.

Last year, I was happy seeing new states get shaded in on Pirateship as I made more and more items for people. This year, I've already shipped out to Canada with inquiries as far as Denmark!

Blows my mind really. And it could be the acetone here in the garage as I wipe shit down for this sold order

But I never knew I'd find something I enjoyed this much as it's been a huge positive impact towards my mental health. Those few of you know what I'm talking about so thank you, and everyone else on here!

TLDR THANK YOU!
