Title: Kid welder
Post by: Garagebuilt on February 24, 2021, 08:59:26 AM

I’m building my 10 year old daughter a cross kart and she told me she wanted to help me on it and learn to weld so o gave her some lessons and let her have at it.
Skip to about 7:30 to see her welding.

Never too young to learn a new skill. Great to see!!
Maybe someday it will turn into 6 figures $$$$$$ for her. Even if not ,welding damn sure is a skill we can all use in our lives. You are rightfully proud of her.Congrats!!
