Augusto Torres

Veteran assembler and fabricator with over twenty years in LA high-volume plants. I read blueprints on the fly, troubleshoot mechanical glitches, and mentor younger workers while pushing production targets.

Outside the shop, I'm a family man who finds balance in weekend soccer leagues, mastering complex Mexican recipes, and attending cultural festivals. I'm driven by a desire to open my own custom fabrication shop, blending practical expertise with innovative ideas.

The Art of the Jig

I'm working on more jigs and fixtures for the home workshop. Stay tuned for tips on how to make your own tools, just like I do in the shop.
