Reply:That's great, and I feel much better now.  I thought maybe I let my son start too young.  He's 8, and made his first weld this past weekend.  I think I created a monster, and the only thing I can do now is feed it more scrap metal...
Reply:I'm affraid my 9 yr old will be like that too. Don't have enough scrap to feel a monster like that yet.There are no problems. There are only solutions. It's your duty to determine the right one.Hobart Handler 210Airco 225 Amp MSM Stinger
