Younger Son works in a lawn mower production plant-currently in paint, powder coat, and finish line. Some sort of production milepost is upcoming and the company has decided to build a limited run of 'Anniversary' models. Plant manager put Son in charge of hand picking best fit/finish parts for the run. Each and every part is to be examined and judged acceptable for the 'premium' logo.
For those who don't already know Son's history: he's legally blind. All QC through his department is 'hands on' inspected. Makes Dad proud. :love:

Country Clipper mowers. A division of Shivvers Manufacturing (grain bins and equipment).
He's worked on most of the mower model assembly lines and currently in the paint and powder coat quality control processes. Sort of a chip off the old block, he's not afraid to point out things that need improvement and doesn't accept shoddy results.
Besides this job, he also refurbs other brands of riding mowers for resale and has a 'vintage' parade tractor. When he gets in a jam on something, he calls me and I guide him through what he can't figure out by feel--pretty tricky when neither of us can see the problem.

Thanks for sharing. Please let him know that his hard work and dedication is appreciated. And the responses from members who see value and dedication to doing a job right is important, no matter the job. I would be proud as his father also.

Congrats to your son and his hard work to be considered the "best" for the position.

I've worked on vehicles/motorcycles since the '70's. I've done rebuilds, restorations, modifications and bodywork/painting. It's amazing with bodywork what the fingers see and feel, that the eyes don't.
