Carpenter. I would love to make my own furniture.

If I won the lottery I would quit my job and become a carpenter.

I know that does not qualify as a "common laborer" skill, but I wanted to contribute that anyways.

Weld aluminum.

Seems tricky to get right.

Not sure if that is really a common laborer deal though

Yea, pretty sure a common laborer does not possess this skill. Tig welding is an art. Don't even think about doing it with a spool gun on a mig.

I wish I was good enough at welding to trust my welds. I have a machine, but I only use it 4 or 5 times a year
