My 11 year old welder

My 11 year old boy putting the finishing touches on the frame boxing plates.

 

Not to shabby. Cool to get the kid in the shop with you.

 

Not bad at all!

Tell the kid to keep at it, we need to keep these talents alive!!!

 

Nice job. My youngest was welding about that age. They have a better eye and steadier hand than us old dudes. And some say the hobby is dieing..........

 

They look better than my beads.

 

Looks great, few more hours practice and he could make a living at it.

 

I thought this was going to be a gripe thread about old equipment.

Boy was I was pleasantly surprised.

 

Me too! I bought my lectric welder from Sears in 1964 and still use it. But love the wire welders.

 

Me three! My 30 year old Lincoln 225 still works perfect.

Good to see a kid interested in this stuff.

 

Nice job, glad to see him learning. Around my area, if someone saw you allowing your son to participate in such a "dangerous" activity, Child Services would be taking the kid(s) and have you clamped in irons.

 

I'd move out of that area as quick as I could.

 

Sweet. Keep him at it. The world needs more hot rodders.

 

How cool is that ?


Pretty damn cool ....

great to see young guys doing this stuff. Keep him going

 

That's great. Is he enjoying it?

 

make sure that auto-mask is doing it's job! protect those young eyes! see if he likes to weld upside down, if he does, send him over here!

 

THIS!! protect his eyes

 

I had my 8 year old boy in the shop welding scrape steel together and he loves it

 

I've read that the KEY thing in raising a kid to be successful, is to find something that interest them and to help and encourage them down that path. Sounds like he's on a good road! Good on you dad.

 

Taught not only my son,---But both grandsons at early ages.
