In moldmaking, some of the most valuable lessons don't come from textbooks or training manuals — they come from those unforgettable moments when plans collide with reality. That’s why we're thrilled to introduce “SHOP TALK,” a new column that celebrates the human side of our industry.

Now, we want to hear from YOU. What’s your unforgettable moment from the shop floor? The mishap that taught you an invaluable lesson? The crazy situation that still has co-workers talking?  Share your tales from the trenches. After all, we’re in this together, one moldmaking adventure at a time.
