Apprentice Jeff Blizzard (left) and Instructor Mitchell Kettle demonstrating a knott Blizzard: I’ve always been an ironworker, I just never realized it before. I drag race motorcycles and have a machine shop in my house where I work on the bikes. I’ve worked in the cement trade and as a carpenter, but I like the challenge of metal. I’ve worked with it all my life, and now I can make it my career.
