Tucker, the fact that Dad handed you the responsibility of this project speaks volumes about his confidence and pride in you!

[@MrPossumeyes]

Tucker, trust what you've been taught. Learning will continue till you're older than you might imagine. You're doing fine, young man.

[@glennjukes5581]

That's right-He might fuss and find fault, but in his heart he is so Thankful to have you guys help out. Three generations right there together-can't beat that-

[@spewp]

It's a bucket, not open heart surgery.

[@williamheinbaugh6633]

Tucker, you did a hell of a GOOD JOB YOUNG MAN! !!!!!!

[@colinpalin2730]

Tucker cut out what needed to be replaced,but make it even so that the new plate fits perfectly without having to make an odd shape

[@trentgay3437]

Dont be so hard on yourself tucker. Everything is a learning process the first time. You didn't quit!!

[@kymw7833]

Tucker have the confidence in your skills that your Dad does ,you could become the Tall version of Aaron DP,s side kick 😅😅😅😅 Kym Adelaide

[@Frank-Thoresen]

Tucker should be proud of the work he did on the bucket. That was a great result. Also getting more comfortable in front of the camera is good for him. I hope we see more from Tucker and the projects he gets. He is a fast learner.

[@kenthesparky178]

Hi Tucker, your Dad would not have left you alone if he didn't have faith in your abilities.You always learn better by doing a job than talking about it.

[@user-dz8zk4bf2i]

Good job at being a father and teacher showing patience is always better than anger.

[@sallybrokaw6124]

I was a weldor/fabricator for 30 years. Tucker if you made any mistakes on this bucket you learned information that will help you do a better job on the next one. What I know today I learned by making a lot of mistakes in my early years. Always remember what you did right and GO AFTER IT SON!!!! AL B.😊

[@BLACKMINER73]

Great to see Granpaw, Son, and Granson working together😊

[@user-yr5ee9vm9e]

Tucker wear a breathing helmet No 1 priority take care of yourself, all that smoke and gas can cause issues later on Please take care of yourself

[@greggb1416]

I believe he had a air cleaner device (not sure of the official name for it) on his belt, located in the middle of his back, and an air hose leading up to the welding hood. The video footage of him welding the plate down.

@@greggb1416 I see it now on his back...I can be an idiot sometimes

[@greggb1416]

@@user-yr5ee9vm9e naw, not an idiot.., I saw it on him quite a few videos back. Good deal on getting him outfitted like that, this early in his career. Those things are not cheap, and it is just now that they are realizing the hazards of that off gassing.

[@Jandyg]

He wasn’t wearing it at the beginning of the video.

[@greggb1416]

@@Jandyg yeah, but he was running the “air-arc”, de-constructing the bucket.

[@michaelphillips2591]

Tucker, just remember everyone starts somewhere. By doing is how you learn and grow. You are doing great. Keep up the good work.

[@Jane-bz3qg]

Confidence in yourself and your abilities Tucker , seeing what you've done in the past, we all know you can do a fantastic job ! ,

[@richwielechowski5191]

Tucker don’t be so hard on yourself. Smile, hold your head up and speak with confidence. You did a great job!

[@railroadman57]

Tucker you are doing a fantastic job ! It is never easy cleaning up someone else’s mess , but the way you are handling this situation is going great doing the total rebuild ! Your a brilliant young man and very talented never cut yourself short ! Have confidence keep up the amazing work !

[@wasfazed]

Congratultions Mr. Tucker - you made it work! (& not poorly) That's the whole object, plus you have some new experience for the next time. Very well done sir.

[@davew3754]

Tucker is coming along very well. Somewhat self conscious but his confidence prevails. Good for dad to encourage him.

[@cndream1]

Tucker, for a young man of your age and experience you are extremely accomplished in your skill set. I know others twice and three times your age who can't do half as good a job and have only half the work ethic you display. I admire you a lot, good job !!!!

[@2wheelzdown180]

Tucker had a fun day of learning . Some projects you just got to go piece by piece and learn how to find your separation line in the welds to see how it was assembled for reassembly . Great job👍

[@josephkitchel6259]

I think Tucker has a lot more talent in his welding than he is willing to accept. He does a tremendous job from my eyeballs!

[@rmorganii]

You're doing a great job Tucker...whoever has the tools wins!...Never give up!

[@ProudPapaw88]

Great job, Tucker. I know what you mean on talking on camera. I’m 71 years old and I still hate talking on camera lol. Thanks for sharing and have a great week!!

[@jackgreen412]

Tucker you're doing fine. You can put stuff back. You've got a good teacher.

[@toshquinn2879]

Dad is teaching you the right way the C&C way Tucker😅

[@jamesguinn5889]

Tucker was afraid you would be upset with his results, but I think he did excellent for someone who never did it before.😊

[@tbix1963]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, ideas and videos. Tucker did a great job in this video, you can definitely tell he’s his own worst critic, should help him progress to being a top class welder. It takes a lot of skill to see where there is room for improvement, as long as you don’t get complacent you should go far. Wishing you and your family the best.

[@ringstinga]

Please don’t be as hard on yourself Tucker, You just need some confidence in yourself which your dad obviously has especially when he left you in charge of doing that bucket, And I have to say it turned out to be a very tidy job indeed. Big Respect young man from Scotland.

[@dansbrown1313]

Hello Clinton, Tucker did an amazing thing in today's video! He was standing at the bucket not knowing what to do and knowing you had faith in him to do it anyway and he did it. He started on one side and just kept going till it was done, proving once again "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree"! Well done Tucker,I had faith you could do it, all you had to do is start. Cheers from Canada. Eh.

[@kennyirish5021]

Tuck remember Dad can always fix it man, Dad is standing right behind you , So you can't mess up. He's just like my dad

[@johnfurey6569]

Nothing better than working with family in a family business you guys all get along great and your turnaround results with the equipment use work on and refurbish come out beautiful

[@CCscott]

Finally something that rolled into the shop on its own power. 😊

[@rogerdalebone]

Great job Tucker. Don't doubt yourself. You did your best and that's what matters.

[@jamesburns8247]

Tucker, You seemed a bit worried about the mess but please remember something I had to learn 60 years ago " You have to make a mess to make something nice " and that goes for making a cake or building a boat.

[@JOSHUA8CS]

Excellent Job Tucker!!! Learn as you go!!!!

[@CK-yi6pc]

I couldn’t have done that at your age Tucker, it’s hard being a man . You have excellent teachers. 🇺🇸🇨🇱

I think any kid woud be in heaven learning what your teaching

[@wink9970]

Great to see another video. Three generations of smilers

[@jarmstrong2843]

Tucker, it is apparent your dad has confidence in your abilities. So what it he gets upset if you made a mistake. If you don't make mistakes, you are not doing anything. Instead, make it a learning experience if you did something wrong. Everything done incorrectly can always be undone. BTW; SMILE!!! Show the viewers what a nice looking young fellow looks like!

[@gregorysmith1107]

Don't be so hard on yourself buddy especially if it's your first time it all comes with experience but you are learning something different and that's good you do good work keep up the great work

Oh tucker don't get yourself down pal you do great work 👍 👏 👌 kick ass welding skills 👏

[@MrQuailpop]

Tucker is A M A Z I N G!!!! Great SKILL so very proud of him and the way he is coming tell him not to be so shy and to be proud of what he is doing!!!!! Love the video great job on the JD 755 bucket

[@TampaJim]

Tucker, your segment was as painful to watch as it was for you to complete. But we both made it through to the end. Congratulations on a good job and don't give up. Working and being able to describe what you are doing is not an easy task. It has been nice seeing you grow the past couple of years and we look forward to more of your work and commentary. Hang in there!!!

[@billblock8090]

Tucker I think you are progressing very well. Your work looks great, as you get more practice it will improve. You are already vert skilled.

[@kentmckean6795]

Tucker makes his Daddy proud! Now he just needs to build his confidence in himself! Looking forward to that laser machine!

[@OldGuyAdventure]

Tucker would make a great heavy equipment welder, I have been watching On Fire Welding (@OFW). I think Tucker, if he wants to be a welder/fabricator, is on a great path.

[@user-jl2fh3qe7c]

Tucker you did awesome buddy. Your dad is a proud fella.

Tucker your doing just fine. learning and taking junk apart is as important as welding back together. this would have been as big a mess if dad did it, he has other stuff he needs to accomplish.keep going it'll be fine.

[@KevinCoop1]

Tucker, I’m pretty sure that your Dad will be proud of you if you do the best you can do. Whether you did it the “Best” way or not doesn’t matter. Just do your best always and life will reward you! I cannot be more proud of my two sons! They tell me often that they must do their best. They do that every day, and are successful in life! With experience comes confidence. You ARE a very good welder already! Best wishes to you!

nice job tucker slow and steady wins the race. well done guys. cheers.

[@vincenthalas7055]

I don't think you realise just how skilled you already are. Tucker? That's a good thing. There is nothing worse than not being able to walk the walk. When I was your age I was tearing up the roads on motorbikes, no skills at all. Well done!

Plus you have something to be proud of. My wife was a school teacher for 38 years. She beleves in trade schools. Your dad is the best trade school you can get especially with a pay check with out a college debt. Keep it up. It will pay off for you in the long run.

Awesome job Tucker! You may have to get your own channel!

[@haroldmcgee8915]

Tucker, don't let the job intimidate you. You learn by doing in the trades. You just learned a lot and the next time it comes up (and it will) you will have a better idea of how to attack the problem and get it done even faster. All in all it looks like you had your arms pretty much around the situation from the start. You inched your way into it so you could see what you were getting yourself into before digging in hard. You used your head. It's hard to find good tradesmen anymore who think through the problem before jumping in. I'm an Engineer, and I can tell you one thing, it's the tradesmen that make engineers look good. We make stupid designs, you guys make the job come together. Nice job!

Tucker Good Job. Lots yet to learn but you have been blessed to have a great boss/dad that is paying you to learn. He allows you to make mistakes and LEARN. Enjoy it while you can. The real world is a life long job. added. Let alone have a cnc plasma table. If you dad was not a good businessman. He may have allowed you a bit more time. To manually layout the plate. It was not but in the last 5 or so years they have become a staple in most shops. Be good, learn a trade and make a great life for yourself.
