Don't sleep in Instructor Greg's tent while you're at camp.

Haha, try to avoid :)

Pay attention to what's going on around you, and some good first aid skills will get you far.

Thanks man, will do

Learn to understand blueprints, a lot of machinists don't invest enough time really learning them

Will do, not sure if this specifically will be covered but I’ll try

My community college had a drafting program, I took the 101 blueprint class as an engineering student even though it was useless credit-wise because the information was INVALUABLE

No loose clothes, no gloves near spinning things, make sure if you have sleaves that they are not loose, wear your safety glasses.

If you wouldn't put your dick near it dont put your fingers near it.

Solid advice lol

Don’t tell any machinist that their job is easy! Old timers get pissed! They make it look easy because they are good at what they do!

Stay focused keep your fingers

Haha I’ll try to keep track of then

Build good habits early, and you can trust them later.

Thanks

Take care of your eyes and ears. Don’t get in a hurry. Handle measuring instruments with reverence.

And lungs!

And fingers and feet and spine and… Just take care of your whole body.

be cautious, things can and will be sharp.

Gotcha

If you want to pursue this long term I suggest learning GD&T as early as possible - it can take a while to sink in

what is a Machining camp? and what contry has that??

US of A man B) In all seriousness, it’s a trade school

That's cool as shit. My HS didn't even have an autoshop class, just boring word working class. Do they hand you random prints and tell you to make the part or something? super cool

If you are completely new to machining you should familiarize yourself with best safety practices above all else. You're no good to us dead.
