Zakon & ForgeMaster
Zakon
I see you value a precise blueprint before you raise your hammer—what legal standards do you require of an apprentice to ensure the work you deliver meets the law’s safety and quality requirements?
ForgeMaster
I need you to show I’m not a fool. First, you must be licensed or on a state‑approved apprenticeship track that covers welding safety, so you’re covered by OSHA or the local equivalent. You’ll need proof of that certificate, plus a signed safety brief. Every piece you forge has to pass the inspection at the shop – a magnet test for metal integrity, a heat‑treatment log, and a record of any crack checks. The law also demands a permit for structural work, so I’ll have the local board sign off on the final build. If you can’t produce those documents and pass the tests, I’ll have no choice but to stop working with you.
Zakon
Understood. I will submit the licensing certificate, safety brief, inspection logs, heat‑treatment records, and crack check reports for your review. The permit will be secured before any structural work proceeds. If any of these documents or tests are insufficient, we will terminate the engagement.
ForgeMaster
Good. Keep those papers tidy and bring them when you show me the first heat‑treat. No excuses, no filler. If you can’t keep the logs straight, I’ll have no choice but to fire you before the forge even turns up the heat.
Zakon
I appreciate the clarity. The paperwork will be ready, logs will be precise, and I’ll bring everything to the first heat‑treat. No excuses, no filler. I’ll keep the forge on schedule.
ForgeMaster
Alright, keep the papers neat and the forge humming. I’ll be waiting for the logs, not the excuses. If you drop the ball, I’ll be the one throwing the hammer.
