Two-week overview & how to use this library
Build vocabulary first, then watch by process. Formal courses come after you know the machines and methods.
How to use this library
- Read Platforms → Materials → Machines → Fixtures so names stick before the videos.
- Follow the 14-day watch plan — checkboxes save in your browser.
- Open video pages by process when you need depth (structures, hydroform, stretch, sheet metal, cold work, CNC).
- Use Training for FAA handbooks, Tooling U, ACRATS, FTI, and NADCAP-class links — enroll through your org when required.
Not official E-3 / E-6 training
Public videos teach machines and methods. They are not Boeing production training and do not replace SRM, AMM, or approved tooling packages.
