Reply:very nice family project, just a note on saftey, do you think its wise for your sone to have music playing in his ears in a shop with other people working, also hearing the weld is as important as seeing it...Of all the things I lost I miss my mind the most...I know just enough about everything to be dangerous......You cant cure stupid..only kill it...

Reply:Very nice. Your son spending time with you makes a better chance he won't spend time with the wrong people as he grows older. I always wear ear protection when I put my safety glasses on. Too many hot sparks/slag through the years got inside my ears. You can't shake them out and they hurt. "Every choice you make will effect at least one other person"

Reply:Awesome stuff!! Love to see this I wish I could make this happen more often. We also have 3 generations of welders but my dad(grandpa) doesn't see the need to do this type of thing. I have been welding for 21 yrs now and have never welded with my dad! I have promissed my boys that this will never be the case with us. Don't like to be mr. negitive but you should pick up some reporators for the boy so he isn't breathing in all the bad crap from the alum and stainless not to mention the argon. Again very awesome post I love this stuff .
Reply:Very nice. It's great to see a kid doing something constructive with their hands and getting quality family time. He's learning a lot more than he thinks he is, and having fun at the same time.The only "down side" I see with the rig is the fact the floors are recessed. That will make them a giant dust collector that are hard to clean. The lip is nice to keep things in place, but clean up becomes more of a PITA. Not sure there's a "good" solution...Last edited by DSW; 03-22-2013 at 12:11 PM..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.

Reply:Very cool. Love the father/son projects.Does the gas bottle fit on the back?  Maybe it's just the angle but looks like the top overhang would interfere.
Reply:Looks like your son is better than meNice looking cart...
Reply:The cart looks very nice! . . Your son did a great job! I checked out your garage too. . Very nice garage!I really like your hydraulic table! . . It would be nice if you would share the pictures of it here, In case someone didn't see it. . . That is very nice and well thought out before the garage was even built!
