About Us

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my blog. These blogs are my notes as I prepared for my Certification of Qualification test ( C of Q) I also have never created a blog so I took the opportunity of studying for the test to publish my notes, I hope that the repetitive nature of reading the textbook and translating what I read into a post will help me pass, I guess only time will tell and I am sure there will be a post about it. If you too are studying for your test and come across this blog I hope it helps you on your journey, if your not in the trade I hope it answers some questions you may have about the trade, about manufacturing, maybe it will inspire you to play in a home shop or to perform differently at work. I am by no means an expert in the trade and technically I not even a journeyman yet. Feel free to let me know what you think of the contents.
