Well, I started welding handrails and sk8 obstacles at a skate park. I learned from a really cool guy that got me started. That being said, I taught myself of scrap metal. I also got a few books and used the internet to help me out. I know the difference between a butt weld and a lap weld. I also know why you would use them in different applications (great for me). All that being said, no way I would even try that project!!

Even if that kid was just going out to learn this stuff, it is VERY obvious he's rushing his way through and really not giving time and effort. He needs to at least learn his way around a grinder to make it look less half assed... hence the dingus comment.

Look I agree on all accounts listed above an even that is crap for a 1st try. All I am saying is give the kid some credit for attempting to do it him self and make something with his hands, thats an ambition thats going away from our younger generations. enough said

Edit: I grew up on a farm and have been playing around in the barn since I was 5-6 years old helping my dad, grandpa, and great uncle, build and fix so much shit. I work in construction and have spent many a winter in the shop welding a fabbing shit up. Shit my 1st year out of high school working in the shop in the winter I had to build from scratch a turn table and mount a belly blade on a dump truck for plowing snow. Including all the hydro systems for the up, down and angle of the blade.

I see a guy on there has a festiva.... And I recognize the name of the person who he bought it off of from fordfestiva.com. My brother was a mod there, then he sold his boosted festiva for a real car.

How the fuck are you supposed to learn???? Thats how I learned how to weld and fab stuff was by making shit. Granted I had a bit of help and access to better equipment so my work has never looked that bad, but I suspect this kid is teaching himself and has no one to teach him, you have to start somewhere.

Damm you guys think if its not perfect then its not good. His work is sloppy and will more than likely break or wont last long in some other way, the point is he took it upon him self to BUILD it. Thats how you learn!!!!!!!! This is something a lot of you guys should try to do before banging on him, your right its not easy.

Kid seem's like a tard, His work is sloppy and sub par even for a first try. On the 3rd page he say's he spun a bearing. No credit from me, Sorry I guess have a unrealistic standard of intelligence and workmanship.

Im gonna go ahead and quote myself.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You dont think he will learn something form this about welding and fabricating???????????

[equate975]

How the fuck are you supposed to learn????

By practicing on non important things before actually making something for your car thats going to matter.... thats how I learned.

100 hours of welding time.....Those look like shit. I've done better welds on an AP Physics Project Catapult. He needs towork on welding first becuase all those crappy welds will leak.

I don't give him any credit for starting this on his own. I'd give him a ton of credit if he had pictures of him practicing welding, learning to use a myriad of shop tools and researching the technique of bonding metals in order to start something like this.

This kid is just a pure dingus who's watched too much discovery channel and thinks creating something from nothing is easy.
