Contribution
Adam: design and manufacturing documentation at O’Neal Manufacturing Services; workshop team fabrication.

A recycled table became the base for a welding jig: a fixture that holds a workpiece in position during fabrication.

Adam prepared DraftSight drawings, SigmaNEST nesting and Epicor job documentation to connect the fixture design with the O’Neal workshop’s fabrication process. No measured production improvement is claimed.
