transquebecniece Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 Well first week in has been great. Started in on our cable clamps (oh the joys of filing) , I love our instuctor (MacFarlane), and everyone in the class seems pretty chill! There were two exams that were pretty easy, and one for tools on monday! So the party's begun! Lookin' to hear good things, R! Quote
weewa Posted April 2, 2007 Report Posted April 2, 2007 Hows the training going? We would love an update! :up: Quote
rcketchik Posted April 3, 2007 Author Report Posted April 3, 2007 Yeah its been a long time since i posted up; Sooo We're into the second half of level 1!! wooohoo, hahaha those clamps took forever and they switched teachers on us so now we have Mr Yee. He's been great, love his style of teaching and those 1 1/2 lunches.. lol. Now we're into lockwiring, aircraft structual design and metal alloys. I also did my cotter pin test yesterday.. argg, it was ok but I definitly need a LOT of practice to get a faster. There is an exam this morning on non-ferrous metals, then the lockwiring test this afternoon. We lost two people in the first two weeks but other than that no one else has dropped/failed, (but we haven't gotten our marks back for the clamps yet) New Guy; I'm pretty sure everyone thats gone through a TC AME M coarse in the past has done a cable clamp, all of our teachers seemed to like to rub it in that they had to make theirs out of steel so we should stop bitching as we have aluminum. Anyway I'm going to go study up on the different alloys of aluminum and all that super exciting stuff!! Quote
212wrench Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 NLC/Okanogan uses steel for there clamps. At SAIT we made hole punches. Quote
new guy Posted April 3, 2007 Report Posted April 3, 2007 we should stop bitching as we have aluminum.

skywrench1 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Posted April 4, 2007 NLC/Okanogan uses steel for there clamps. At SAIT we made hole punches. A different era at SAIT I guess, our project was a C clamp, I still use it today. Quote
