1.) Go find a temp agency, apply to get some job, any job, in a fabrication shop or machine shop.
2.) Show up every day mostly sober, even if you're sweeping the floor or running a grinder.
3.) Take an interest in thr equipment. Learn about it. Learn how to use calipers and a tape measure.
4.) Eventually they will train you on a machine. Maybe a mill, maybe a lathe, maybe a plasma cutter or brake or laser. Learn how to run it, learn how to run some of the other machines.
5.) Keep learning and never want for a job again.
Most annoying is that it is actually quite simple to bulk-learn the basics of all that shit in a 1 week structured course, but you have to play politics instead, before they let you be useful.
Better plan:
Slowly take the parts of each individual machine
find a secret lair to bring said parts
build a suit
fly over the corporate and political leaders, and shit on them.
I think that may be less feasible though. We'll go with your idea, for now.
If you're going to build some kind of suit, you'd want the machines in the metal shop to be intact.
Oh. Goddammit.
I'll just use the grinder then. For now.
Good plan.
If the initial job pays you enough to live, sure.
