The oldest grandson came down Sunday and Monday to start learning how to weld. Sunday we discussed welding safety, work habits, and general things about the trade. I ran a little demo with the TIG process. Monday we set up outside the shop for stick welding. I try to avoid stick welding in the shop because it's pretty tight quarters in there and I can't isolate any sparks that will be coming off the work piece when welding. It was a bit brisk outside with the wind blowing. Not the best conditions for learning to weld but he stuck with it and seemed to be picking it up rather quickly. He'll be coming down at least one more day this week for another lesson. We'll cover some more theory and more welding practice.
The boy's working his plan - good to see.
