For the last few years, I have been in the steel making industry and after a 6 month lay-off, I'm now working in a brand new coke making facility (coke as in making steel).

So your the reason why our steel prices keep going up!! How much they paying you over there!!

I've been a Sheetmetal Mechanic for 22 years now. Started out in the construction/HVAC side of it, now working in a plant making self-storage facilities. Our steel prices fluctuated so much over the past 2 or 3 years it's been crazy. The biggest reason probably being the lack of Coke making facilities along with the industrial revolution going on in China.

That damn Coke!! Was trouble for me in my youth & it's trouble for me today.
