At 12 my dad put other devices in my hands...cutting torch, wrenches, steam
cleaner wand, spray gun, and I decarbonized heads and ground valves. But I
think the welding helmet kept falling off of my pointy little head, so I did
not advance to that stage.
Besides, I found cleaner ways of making a buck.....
Years later, I became involved in the layout of a large weld shop for
manufacturing along with the purchase capital equipment and tooling. I still
didnt know how to competently weld at this point. And have not tried.
However, it is odd that I went full circle back to working on Tractor
Engines...this would be a mystery to my dad.
