Quality welding time

[dragnusa]

I've had my welder for about a year now and dealt with the hand held mask till this week. Mainly because I wanted to get me and my son a mask, since I couldn't afford the Hobart masks we wanted I decided to pop on a couple off amazon. Today was our first chance to get out and do some welding so I went out and got some horse shoes for a project. My son had been doing some different kinds of welding in AG class so I wanted to see what he could do with our flux core welder. after a few test beads we started on the horse shoes. After we got beyond a few strange things he had learned in school we had a great time welding up a horse shoe cross.
They work pretty good for cheapo's off amazon

Here is the cross we took turns welding together.

Nothing better than quality time with the kid. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah he is 17 so quality time is a rare thing any more. But we try to do something together atleast once a week.

Good stuff. I was just showing my 10 yr old the basics the other day when I was welding up some bracket or something. he seemed interested, might have him work with me on the next chopped up bike build.
