I’d say high rise iron workers seem the coolest. Think back to that black and white picture everyone has seen of the two guys sitting on a beam hundreds of feet up eating lunch.

    Not gonna be cool to anyone but me probably.

    I made seperator tapes and cable filler for wires. Was extrusion, slitting and spooling all at once.

    Its all plasic, but the spooling end of the line looked like textiles. Got to carry a giant ass air “gun” to doff with. That gun was much fun.

    Thought it was cool af. Got to do beast mode everyday; there were so many moving parts happening all at once, I never got bored. Leaned to swap products “on the fly”. Doing a change over while the machine was still running always gave me good feely feels.

    Everyone who could run those lines, well, mind you, were absolute gods to me. Took over a year to train anyone new, and so many didnt last. tough work, super dopamine hitting.
