# The Tea

Starting my sheet metal apprenticeship, I must admit I didn’t realise how interesting sheet metal can be. If your creative, you’d love the things you get to do. It's crazy what you start noticing after a while as well. Walking down the street, I see air conditioning units and roofing details most people wouldn't even glance at. It's a whole new world – hidden craftsmanship everywhere. With more practice, I know I'll be a go-to sheet metal worker in Perth, ready to tackle any project, big or small.
