Tool Technics

Our workshop is at 18-B in the T.I.E. part of Balanagar. It’s a compact space, but it fits everything we need. T.I.E. is a busy hub for people doing technical work, so we’re in good company. You can hear the sounds of welding and cutting from the units nearby all day long. We start our mornings by checking the machines and getting the oil levels right. The space is a bit dark, so we have these big overhead lights that stay on until we leave. We work with tools and precision stuff, so we’re usually squinting at something or using a magnifying glass. It’s quiet work in some ways, but the background noise of Balanagar never really stops. We don’t have much in the way of decoration on the walls, just some old calendars and a few charts for measurements. The metal tables are scratched up from years of use. We usually have a tea break around four in the afternoon when the sun hits the front door. It gets quite hot in the summer months, and the fans don't do much but move the warm air around. Still, we get the work done. We’ve been in this specific spot for a long time, and we know exactly how many steps it takes to get from one end of the shop to the other. It’s our second home.
