Default Re: Shop ruined my '48 radiator tanks

I volunteer at my friend's machine shop. In the past year I've learned to run a tathe, a milling machine, how to TIG weld, build a louver press and dies as well as a few other things. Actually it is more of a sheet metal shop and he teaches classes to people from all over. Occasionally he gets fathers bringing their kids because the kids are for free. The last kid there has a dream of building a truck for SEMA and had a plan laid out. While kids today are not like we are many of you had parents who could not understand why you brought home that piece of junk.
I hesitate to categorize any age group and work on not letting myself turn into a miserable judgmental old man. Damn. Look what you made me do.
