Sometimes you meet people that have the coolest jobs. We recently met the man who owns L.May Metal Fabricators LTD, the company that makes those iconic metal lunchboxes. When Mr. Will invited us to come and see the shop, we of course said yes!
We went to the shop where they’ve made thousands of their famous metal lunch boxes. We got a little tour of the shop where they make each lunch box by hand, and Alexie and Dad even got their hands dirty, making a pink lunch box of their own.
They bent the metal to make the box and the lid. They watched as it was finished in powder coating and baked, making it a pink, Alexie’s favourite colour. Then they assembled it, using the riveter to put on the handles, hinges and brackets. Alexie really got into stomping on the riveter. It was so cool to see this little girl run that big machine!
It was a great field trip and both girls left with a little lunchbox of their own.
