Thread: Welding 101 with shop-teacher dad

Tweet

Great post, I can relate to your thread. I am a retired pipe welder for over 40 years. I always thought my 2 sons would have done something different but both are pipe fitter/welders who are now both piping contractors. Two grandsons also pipe welders. I would have liked to see someone in the family do something different.

A family full of welders usually don't stay together much, as they are always on the road. LOL! but we are all close in spirit, and all are car nuts.
