This week we chat with CQUni's Metal Fabrication teacher Gary Balderson. We hear that before he was a tradie, Gary dreamed of being a policeman or fireman - he even lit up the backyard as 'work experience'. We learn that later he was fascinated by a neighbour with a welder who could join two pieces of steel together, which led him into the field of metal fabrication. We hear about some interesting tales on the job, including watching the roof of the Brisbane Entertainment Centre being lifted by massive cranes and placed into position, and we are inspired by his passion for teaching the next generation of tradies.
