Patrick's IH Adventure (2016 Intern)
-
Hey guys! My name is Patrick John Lu and I'm the new Iron Heart intern for the year of 2016…
I'll be posting in this thread constantly with pictures/videos/stories about my experience throughout my time at the company as well as things that I've learned and what not to do; hopefully the latter won't be posted about tooooo much... ;). Giles and I thought this would be a perfect way for any future interns know exactly what they're getting themselves into (before it's too late.....)
I've been wearing and loved Iron Heart for some time now and it's been nothing but a dream come true to be able to work alongside such wonderful and intelligent people. Long story short, as an American trying to work short term in the UK obtaining my visa was a fkn nightmare, but Paula and I powered through and got the damn thing after months of communication and weeks of struggle. Let me know if you would like to know specifics about that process...
Hope to talk to you all soon enough (that is if Giles doesn't kill me first..)
& stay stubborn -
best of luck!

welcome, best of luck and have fun!

Nice to have you at HQ Patrick. As with the previous interns you will need to start drinking the local ale as well as eating from the New Bengal curry house at least once a week (ahem @Axel).
Train tracks on the hem is a typical noobie 'mistake', practice makes perfect.

Old machines are always an adventure until you get the feel for how they run. Even then, they're temperamental, come to think of it.
Someday, I'll give Unity a test drive.

I sure miss it all! @Winchy I'll trade you for coffee, beer, chocolates… ?

release the little pedal thing before it hits the selvage right at the end.
That'd be the folder…

nice stuff @PattyCakez - keep 'em coming!
@Sam - those White 666 look too clean! get to work on that haha
-
Hahaha! @Appfaff I recently washed them to be honest. Working here they get more blue than anything else. I'll do a long motorcycle ride in them soon to get some proper grime on them. Then photos will follow! Cheers for the shaming
Nice pics @PattyCakez you're coming along quite nicely!
-
@Sam - just doing my best to keep you honest good sir!
TBH, I'm the same way - im so cautious around white pants that mine never get really dirty, although I have some pique ones I'm not planning on washing any time soon!
-
Great pics & stories @PattyCakez … keep it up!
-
Some great "behind the scenes" updates @PattyCakez . Keep it coming.
I have to ask though, why is @Giles putting his chainsaw through what look like old school railway sleepers? Is it a motivational technique?
-
Yeah, we were the unpacking A Team yesterday - well done for recording our hard work @PattyCakez - and the shirts were photographed (by Sam), measured (by me and Matt) and ready to go live early for once! Nothing like a bit of team work
