@dustman the most experienced welders and fabricators were not let go. The ones left are top notch. You probably have not worked side by side with these guys so would not know

I'm sure unless the price of oil goes back up many more will be let go, most of the fabricators/ welders who have a lot of knowledge of building the frames and dollies have already been let go, if it gets busy again in the fab shop I'm afraid there's going to be big problems because no-one will know the processes involved in the manufacture of those items, the learning curve will be long and painful due to mistakes and rework.
