Hey guys
Im about 6 months into a fitting and machining apprenticeship and to put it simply im not learning anything as far as the machining goes (im 19 btw).
The parts that we make are so basic im not sure id call it machining.
What scares me is that not long ago i made what i was told is the most complex part thats made in house, but really it was a walk in the park,ill post pics when i get the chance.
The problem i think is due to jumping so far ahead by myself that there just isnt anything at work that i find challenging.
I basically went into the job on my first day and started making parts with no training at all.
My supervisor is willing to try and help me out but isnt getting very far.
So what would be really helpful would be if you could post some pics of REALLY complex parts that were made on manual machines, be it for work or hobby. What would be even better is if you could post the plans too so i can have a go at making them and hopefully learn something.
Im hoping this will help by being able to go to my boss and say i need the skills to be able to machine this.....
Cheers, looking forward to hearing your comments
