Vishal Engineering Works

My workshop is located at F-7 in Kandivali West. It’s not much to look at from the outside, just a metal shutter and the sound of machines running. We do a lot of small-scale engineering tasks here. Most days you’ll hear the sound of cutting metal or the hum of the welding machine. There’s usually a bit of iron dust on the floor, and I have to sweep it out every evening before I lock up. I’ve been working with my hands since I was a young man. The space is filled with tools that have been with me for decades. Some of them are a bit rusty but they still work better than the new ones you buy today. We handle repairs and some custom fabrication for people in the area. It’s practical work. Nothing fancy or high-tech. I usually have a helper with me, and we spend most of our time bent over a workbench. The light in the back of the shop isn't great, so we do the precision work near the front where the sun comes in. People bring in broken parts or sketches on bits of paper, and we try to make something out of it. It’s a lot of heat and sweat, especially in the summer months. We don't have a big sign or anything. Most of our work comes from people just knowing we are here in the F-7 block. It’s a solid way to make a living and keep busy.
