Welded and melded together are two Butte High disciplines that teach real-world math and practical hands-on skills. Senior Caleb Hash is one of 30 students who learned how to create a welded project good enough for selling — original fire pits.

The everything's-OK line about U.S. manufacturing goes something like this: Yes, lots of manufacturing jobs (7.3 million, to be precise-ish) have been lost since employment in the sector peaked in 1978, but real manufacturing output is at an all-time high.

As president/estimator at Nick’s Welding & Fabricating, Inc., it’s also precisely what he does on a daily basis: Joining together various pieces to make an overall whole.
If he’s seen his business grow beyond his wildest expectations, it’s in part because of his drive to succeed. Pride is part of what motivates Helstad, as well as the desire to do a little better as each year passes. His principles are also important to him.
