Paul my father was a welder in a stainless steel factory that manufactured milk coolers and other various tanks. My brothers and I grew up with a Lincoln stick welder in the garage and dad was all the time welding things for himself and others that had problems. My biggest regret was that I never had him teach me to weld. He passed away from pancreatic cancer and I lost that opportunity to learn something that could be beneficial for years to come. Thanks for your good work in teaching your family!

[@billmccullough2323]

Landon is going to be very proud of that truck and for good reason. He will be telling his grandkids about how tough his old man was, getting stitches at the dining table!!! LOL This is all good stuff. Thanks for sharing part of your family life with us and for another great video.

[@BigMike-dm4oy]

Paul, you are my hero of a dad! My father would never let me weld, I taught myself through trial & error. I taught my son to weld when he was 12, needless to say there was 4X's more grinding than welding. Now he owns his own rig and welds professionally. Michele you know I HATE commercials, so thanks for putting it at the end so I can completely skip it.

[@lawrencebush2603]

I am an electrician, since US Navy electrical school in 1957 at 17 years old. I worked full-time for 54 years. Retired at age 72 y.o. You are an amazing craftsman. An Artist. Congratulations. It's not work when you love what you are doing and that shows in your shop and projects. Keep going as absolutely long as you are physically able. I am 82 now and have 4 or 5 small projects in progress.now.

NICE! Good to see Lan getting involved and dad Paul steppin back and "supervising". Landon's welds look pretty good. Good job gentlemen!

Good advice for your son on the safety glasses and ear plugs. Maybe Dad ought to start showing his children by example? Landon truck is going to turn out awesome. He'll remember this time working on it for the rest of his life. Good job Paul. Hope you heal quickly.

[@cliffcross6487]

Glad to see Landon enjoy working with his dad. Also dad enjoy teaching Landon.

[@frankygagne]

I like the way you teach your kids how to weld, rebuilt a tranny and other things. It bring me back memories of my teenage years when we lived on my grandfather farm. All the time I spent with him in the shop to fix the mower, the rake etc. Best time of my life!! I try to reproduce these moments with my kids too

[@arizonapapa9453]

I wouldn't be too harsh on him, I don't think anyone is ever really ready to raise children. Many people told me that I was too harsh, but I wasn't simply raising good children, I was trying to prepare young men & women to thrive in the often harsh world around them. Overall, I'm pleased with the results. All are married and raising their own children, using many of the same rules they once hated. I must admit that I really enjoy hearing my words coming out of their mouth, but I didn't invent them, many of those quotes came from the old men that influenced me! In the end, just try to do the best you can raising your children.

Great to see your son learning and working on his own project. Having had more stitches than I care to count, I'll send a tip of the hat to Dr. Wade for the bedside manner and the fine stitching, I've had worse from MD's. Thanks again all.

There are many things I can appreciate learning from KZbin but doctor stuff kind of stretches the limit for me. I am sure he respects his limits.

Landon, you are so lucky to have the opportunity to be learning the things you are doing right now.

The inverse accute angle to your 75 degree measurement is 15 degrees. When working with 2 angles where the outcome is for a 90 degree attachment (parallel to the measured surface), your angles will add to 90 degrees. Love the progress!
