My son building is first project

Very nice work and you have every reason to be a proud father.

Thats awesome! I started tiging when I was 16, I'm 22 now. I decided one day I wanted to learn how to weld, went into the garage and picked the torch up and went to town. My dad wouldnt give me much instruction on how to do it, so I read a couple of books and watched hours of Youtube videos. I cant blame my dad for not really saying anything, he wanted me to go to school. He used to be a boilermaker and now he is millwright. In his younger days he was one heck of welder the guys that work with him have told me. He knew that I would be good at it and would love it, because I am not really a fan of school. At this point I am fairly decent at welding myself, and will graduate next semester with a degree in management, minor in entrepreneurship.

Your not an Electrician by chance are you? Just asking because I seen the explosion proof disconnect switch for the welder and nice looking pipe work and was just curious. Nice job on the cart too.

Wooooo. **** kart you have there. Nice job, a welder is born.

 

[sunsation288]

Thanks again guy , he said to me yesterday night , he like the way how the mig work with alu , but a major difference with tig you can go backward with the puddle , but with mig you have to go straight , hope my sentence made sense
and yes i am very lucky to have him by my side (he have 16 year old) , i know a lot of kid at this age who leave for friend and girlfriend an the parent are only the shelter for refrigerator eating and sleep lolll
Picture of him last christmas holiday in florida

[sunsation288]

Hey, is that an aluminum magnet??

No just a holder , but like you see , it's not very conductor . he have to connect with alu strip is ground lollll

 

[MP&C]

Good job on getting your son involved in welding at an early age. He looks to be picking it up well and soon will be on here teaching us old guys a thing or two!

 

[Stooge]

Great thread! speaking as a semi younger person (26) this is some time your son will really value later on, getting to learn from you and your father. Really like reading stuff like this and really makes me wish my dad was more of a do'er and less of a sit on the computer person. Cart looks great, welds look great, especially for just starting on aluminum, Keep the projects pictures coming!
