Local 9 (Colorado) member Jacob Stone recently completed his apprenticeship capstone assignment in impressive fashion, crafting a custom copper lantern featuring acid etching and intricate design work.
“The craftsmanship speaks for itself,” Local 9 wrote. “Beyond the shop, Jacob also serves as a sergeant in the U.S. Army Reserves, balancing military service with apprenticeship training — an incredible commitment that deserves recognition.”
Great work, brother!
