A day in the build bay
Picture starting your shift with a quick huddle, the day's build travelers in hand. You review prints, prep your tools, and begin bringing components together with care. Mid-morning, you pause to verify tolerances, documenting results before moving to the next subassembly. After collaborating with a teammate to refine a fixture setup, you tidy your bench and make a note of an improvement idea for the supervisor. Training wraps your day as you add a new technique to your toolkit.
