I love how you turn the work over to your son's and give them the guidance needed. You are a great teacher. Even your eight year old gets hands on experience. At the end of the day I'm sure they are full of pride with their accomplishments. I know that you do all the welding that involves safety. I would like to see them learning more about welding. I still cringe when I see them using a cut off wheel without gloves. I've sent you pictures of what can happen when a cut off wheel explodes with welding gloves on. Safety first. Stuff can go bad in a blink of an eye and when least expected. Knowledge is priceless and best learned not the hard way. Thanks for sharing all that you do. Stay safe healthy and happy 👍 Oh by the way wheaties are best with a dusting of sugar.

He may not always have it, he most likely will do what typical teenagers do, but deep down it will always hold a special place in his heart. A father/son project.

I'm sure he knows how to weld, but in case he hasn't learned yet, he should. I love what you're doing with this truck.
