OLD ILLINI TEACHING A "BOILERMAKER"

[illinilefttackle 399]

Yesterday I was in the Garage fiddling around when one of my Grandson's came by. His Name is TYLER and he is attending Purdue in Mechanical Engineering Technology. He said he wanted to learn to weld.  WELL! Just what I was waiting for! A chance to pass on skills to another Generation. I was modifying a Jacobsen Snow Plow I use on my Horse, so it fit right in.  I started him with a little Mig welding, then he will comeback for Stick welding and Gas welding & Brazing. He is getting the whole nine yards, temperatures, materials, etc. He did a very good job for the first time- especially for a BOILERMAKER!- Thanks for looking-Proud Grand Dad.
