In the winter, our sister company, @LinwoodMining, experiences product freezing & compacting into small builders. To break it up, they use skid loads to drop the boulders onto large grates (pictured) which breaks them up & lets smaller pieces fall through. #CustomFabrication

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of sheet metal workers is projected to grow 8% from 2018 to 2028, faster than the average for all occupations.

In the United States, we commonly specify industrial sheet metal thickness by a traditional, non-linear measure known as gauge. A bigger gauge number equals a thinner metal. For example, the most popular sheet metal sizes range from 30 gauge to about 7 gauge.

In 1485 Leonardo da Vinci drew a sketch of a rolling mill, which was very advanced for the time. In 1590 da Vinci’s rolling mill was brought to life utilizing two heavy cylinders to press different types of metal altering their thickness.

Two years ago, a Dickinson High School student welded horseshoes together & fabricated them to look like a pumpkin. From there a pumpkin horseshoe fundraiser was born, with a purpose to assist disadvantaged students in the American Welding Society certification program.
