Reply:Welcome Claire! Good on her, starting out on stick welding!Do you mind posting a close-up of the butterfly? I'd love to take on a similar project with my kids.
Reply:Incredible, thanks for sharing that, good to see some safety equipment being used, but if I may suggest something, I would like to see her hair tied up, teach her a little more safety, I used to have long hair and I found out quick why one should keep it tied back, so just a friendly reminder.

Reply:Be sure that goes in your next exhibit.I think she did a great job. Better than I could have. I can see she has the same artistic instincts her father has. You'd better watch out or she'll take your job at this rate.I agree it's great to see kids doing something with their hands and making things. I don't know what it's like over there, but here most kids would rather sit behind the tv and play video games or text.Tell her she did a great job for all of us..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.

Reply:thank you for liking Claire .She'll do more little projects in the future, am still yet to find some gears that will fit her and yes she'll be more safety conscious while working in the shop..like that long hair  tied up while working ...that butterfly was her school project and the principal liked it so much and requested if it can be displayed in their school...anyway i hope the link with this message works on you if case you wanted to watch her weld in a short video i filmed..thanks Mariohttps://www.dropbox.com/s/3crgto1q6k...1ST%20WELD.wmv
Reply:Super Cool Mario! She'll be buzzing along in no time! And with a teacher like yourself, you better watch your back in a few more years! I could see where this is going already LOL. Awsome bud!I hate being bi-polar it's awsomeMy Heroes Have Always Been Cowboys

Reply:Originally Posted by tackitNice job Claire.  That's a very creative art piece, keep up the good work .   Mario, having such a cutie for a daughter as Claire you need to build yourself a few swords and a working guillotine and show her boyfriends how they work.
Reply:Enjoy these times with your baby girl.   I lost my baby girl almost 4 yrs ago.  Some of my fondest memories are of me and Sis in the shop together.  You will both look back on these times.Miller BobcatHarris cutting outfitMiller spectrum 625 plasmaVariety of shopmade tools

Reply:You're a great teacher and she's an outstanding apprentice! You both did an awesome job! Nice welding video.PlasmaCam CNC cutterLathe and Band SawClamps
Reply:Very nice, and glad to see you passing on your skills to your daughter.  She is very beautiful BTW!  Maybe my granddaughter will be interested in welding some day, I will give it some time as she is just 9 mos. old!  I was fortunate to teach a friend's son some basic welding skills and safety habits, he is now off and running on his own!  Best of luck on her future projects!
