My daughters design for my welding cart. I love it.

admin

This is what my daughter came up with for a welding cart embellishment and theme.  I like it.  It will be a fun spring project.Last edited by Housedad; 01-07-2014 at 10:36 AM.Victor Oxy weld/cut Setup Meco Midget Torch outfitEverlast 2016 250EX & Power Cool W300Lincoln Power mig 210MP  w/amptrol and Spool GunEverlast Powerarc 200 Hypertherm Powermax 45Bandsaw, Lathe, grinders, press, Bridgeport, etc.

Reply:I ran around several commercial job sites with Barbie stickers on my hard hat.  Some of the looks I used to get.  Lol.    I think my little girl had me wrapped around her little finger a couple of times.   I would build it in a heartbeat, but only if she was involved in the build it won't hurt for her to have some exposure.   Get ER done.

Reply:I took a piece of oak and used a scroll saw to cut out a paddle to use as a scare tactic toward my sassy little 3 year old daughter.  I showed it to her and warned her that of she misbehaved I'd use it to give her a "whoopin".  A couple of hours later I walked into the living room and saw my nice new paddle sitting on the sofa with hello kitty stickers plastered all over it.    I had to chuckle.
