Very nice!!!

Looks like its going to be a nice cart. Stainless and mitered corners
Good use of proper personal protection equipment.

[sunsation288]

Time to change the blade , since we do tubing , i think i have not the right tool for S/S

 

[sunsation288]

We have try abrasive on a dry saw ...and it's not working

 

[sunsation288]

Time to try our new tool vertical grinder...working well

[sunsation288]

and next week-end he going to do the tank holder plus he want to add a deck on top of it ....

 

[NASTYZEN]

That's real cool that he tig welds all ready. He should be a master before before long.
That rack is looking good.

 

[Ben Buck]

Sunnsation: Great post!! You and your dad have been a very positive influence on your son. I think it's great, if he has any thought of a career in welding, for what I know he'll be in demand!!

 

[Big-Foot]

Very nice job guys!!!!!

 

[BFalfa]

nice lookin cart..happy to see your son learning to do something with his hands. so many kids these days know nothing about using there hands to create something.

 

[Responder]

I am impressed! As mentioned before, nice to see three generations working together.

 

[cundifc]

A tig welding 15 year old makes a 25 year old leaning how to stick weld jealous. Awesome project

 

[madosta]

Awesome. Love the three generations.

I have to ask, if you don't mind, what is your nationality? I read your posts with a little accent!

 

[OccupantRJ]

Most excellent! Your son will remember this time forever.

 

[danallen]

Very cool! I was about his age when my father taught me how to weld. It is a cherished memory of mine, and I'm sure that your son will remember these times with you forever as well.

 

[RedRob]

Looking great! hope to see some more family projects

 

[Bears Fan]

That's a great project! you just don't see kids that age doing things that don't involve a cell phone, laptop or game console. I'm jealous that's an awesome looking cart, the diamond plate really makes it pop. Keep welding dude you can use it the rest of your life...

 

[Jim Oso]

Really cool. I like the look.

I recently got back in touch with my dad and wish I would have paid attention when I was younger to learn from him. I love seeing the father/son projects.

 

[sunsation288]

Great things can be created if you have the right tools and in some cases the right helpers. A family that welds together, sticks together.

Can someone tell my what that foot stop thingy is and point me to a web page where I can find one? Don't think I've ever seen one before.
