Gifts for Your Boss - Desk Plates for Machinists
You make parts with tolerances tighter than most people's patience. Work with machines that could kill you. And somehow explain why 'close enough' isn't a thing.
Why This Works
Machining is precision work that makes everything else possible. You create the parts that go in everything. These stickers honor the craft.
That generic nameplate on your desk says 'Account Manager' but your soul says 'Professional Email Ignorer.' Our desk plates bridge that gap. They're the perfect blend of professional enough to stay on your desk and honest enough to make your coworkers snort-laugh. Finally, a nameplate that tells the truth.
