The fact that your son gets to come to work and play with a real crane has got to be awesome for him. I love nothing more than when my daughter wants to come help me in the shop. Best times in the world.
Very nice of you to let him join in and run crane. He did outstanding job. Please keep influencing him into the trades. We desperately need qualified personal. If he stays with you he can name his salary and location, as long as he stays with it. But good job in raising a great young man that you can be proud of, keep him close! Semper fi
That is so cool. I do not know if I am going to have a boy or girl because we haven't tried yet but when I was a little kid I loved big equipment and stuff. I still have yet to buy a Euclid . The green ones that they were using to build the turnpike on the way from Pittsburgh to Pottstown back when I was little. I also need to find a crane truck like yours with a great service body. Keep up the great work my friend!! You have a wonderful son. Yeah, if he can pull the pin out it might be little loose.
This brings back some great memories of working with my son when he was very young. He always wanted to know how things worked. He is 37 now and we still work together, it’s an awesome experience to watch him learn through the years. 😁👍🇦🇺
Pretty darn awesome that you got your boy with you my dad was in construction and that's what I grew up around riding in dump trucks and on heavy equipment and having Dad teach me about the trade It's cool to see this you don't see it too often anymore
Amazing you let your son get involved in your work. Your lad must of really loved controlling the Crain. Bless him. Your a good dad doing this, he will remember that. God bless you both. Enjoyed video, great repair work. Thanks for sharing, 👍👍👍👍👍THUMBS UP👍👍👍👍👍 Anthony, uk
I don't have a kid but seeing this made me so happy to leave my job and get back to business for myself. Thanks for the work you put into sharing you experience and wisdom.
This reminded me of me and my son when he was little working in my welding shop. Good job as usual and there is hope for California and America with men like you.
Your son showed excellent aptitude on understanding how levers work 👏. Excellent repair, love the slide test after welding the bosses in, precision fabrication. Thanks for sharing guys.
Some people complain that some jobs require 5 to 10 years experience while Appling for jobs. Then they ask how am I suppose to get this experience, well this is how it's done and how it used to be done. You get your kids involved at a young age. Great job
watching you let your son get that hands on is truly amazing how many kids does he know that gets to operate a real crane not like the fisher price ones other kids have got and to get his hands dirty and getting stuck in honestly amazing kids very lucky to have a great dad like you
That kid is gonna remember this when he grows up and working in the industry! Really kind of you! I remember when I was a kid and followed my grandpa in the shop and that really made me aware of how cool it is to create something with your hands and your head.
That’s a great way to keep him interested in the trade and some very valuable experience. Next is fab and then welding unless dad moves that around to silt clientele’s needs. I know my dad let me loose in the shop and I built myself a set of equal length headers to install a L88 427 Chevy in a 1957 Chevy Nomad when that was a pipe dream for many before the kits came out that copied my design of motor mounts and headers. Thanks dad
Great to see your son with you and able to share your knowledge with him. Hopefully someday he’ll be a chip off the old block and take over his dad’s business. Great video though and great work as always.👍🏼🤩🫡
Great video man!. I always appreciate how the same place and position can be found when welding in new hollow bar. Seems like such tight tolerances and so many ways to have it out of alignment and bind.
This is to me great parenting! Let the kid try things and learn about stuff. I also like the fact that it's raining and he doesn't care. My daughter had the same when she was young..she just went out without a coat in the rain or cold and had fun doing kids stuff. I don't even know how i got here, but i liked it!
I really enjoy watching father and son time. Great job on introducing him to the trades. With those crane skills he could be operating big cranes in no time at all! Oh and stay dry my friend. My in-laws live in Costa Mesa (where I’m originally from) and are telling me how bad the rains are.
Wow Greg your little man awesomeness has been sowed in him by you sir! Kids love variety in all they do he looks so happy being with his DAD! Outstanding Greg💯👈🏻🫵🏻
How cool that you had your little helper with you . We need more people like you who encourage the youngsters to have a go at something instead of just watching. It gives them a good feeling you see that in his excitement. Priceless thanks Ruth south Wales GB 😁
seeing the young fella work reminds me of when i would help my grandfather run his boomtruck when i was about 5 or 6. good to see he enjoys it, smart tradesman in the making.
Reminds me of when I was that age. I went to work with my heavy duty mechanic father often on weekends and was the tool fetcher. I got good enough by the time I was 6 dad would take me out of school to go fix trucks that had broken down in the Fraser canyon of BC. Some of the most memorable times of my young life. Give you an idea of the years an 8V71 Detroit at 315 hp was the big power of the day.
Man, when that bucket rolls back and hits it's stops with a solid clanging THUD you know it's dialed in just right and no longer sloppy...daggum! Great job! Keep em coming!!!!
Your son is a good crane operater glad to see him with you helping he also handled that pry bar pretty good also removing those pin with assistance of dad ! 👍👍
Man I love seeing dads taking time with their sons even tho it would be alot quick with them not there your teaching that kid life lessons that will stick with him forever my son will be 20 in April he was always by my side no matter what I was doing and now he's working making almost as much as me thanks for the video
I have been watching you for over a year and seen you take on the most shittyst jobs and they look like a rose when your done But i just got even more respect for you from getting your son thrilled to be helping dad at work the thrill he will never forget ! Great work DAD !
great job dad I'm glad that you include your son he's going to look back and be thankful for it. I wish I had a father that would have done stuff like that with me. That's the reason i would take both of my kids to do stuff with me. The only issue is now they're teens and its not fun anymore they look at it as work now
Bout time to get Jr. some safety glasses. Wow your truck is impressive! I love all the tool slots. Makes inventory easy and lost items immediately stick out.
Just started the process of getting into my local Millwright Union. I've been watching you're videos. Love the stuff. I'm learning a lot before even touching a welder. Also wanted to point out this video has twice as many views as you've got subscribers. Keep up the good work! Edit: I made this comment before watching the video and just wanted to add that loved watching little dude learn from one side to the other after you showing him the different angles to pull those pins out.
That's sweet to see that young man brave the weather to be with his dad. He just need to please learn not to stand under or very close to that boom when operating it. Chains swing unexpectantly from side to side when least expected. But he has the right teacher by his side.
24 positive comments about your boy helping. School is going to be difficult for him, they don’t do anything. He’s a working man. Enjoyed it & a little envious. My kids were killed in 1979 Dixie was 4.5 & Jim was 22 months. Good day for the kids, not so much for the rest of us. Thank you Sir. I do appreciate your videos.
Mini you improved with every pin and got more confident and comfortable using the equipment, but dad is going to hear it from mom when she sees her baby out in the rain soaked to the bone 😂 I worked with dad in the auto body industry for over thirty years as his employee, partner then he was my employee before retirement, still miss that old man after loosing him over twenty years now.
yes , it is all fun and games at this age , he is setting himself up for challenge and success . when he gets older this will come naturally. keep teaching and showing him life challenges before this crazy world corrupts him.
I went with my dad as well, an Operating Engineer.. I always wore a HARD HAT and have my whole life............... Also, my dad knew just where the closest emergency room was.. Have fun
I used to go all over the place with my dad, as a kid. From making animal feed and delivering it to landscaping/grassing. Riding the tractor was the best part. Once I was older he put me to work. 🥵 😅
Bubble gum a.k.a. booger Weld. Always amazes me how you cut away things like those pin-bosses and maintain some sense of location so new parts line-up.
I really appreciate you sharing this video it is so nice to see father and son work together my hat is off to you one day he'll be running the show keep up the good work father and son team
And another heavy machine is back in service. Raining cats and dogs, Now that would be a sight. That young lad learns quick, i was as thick as a bankers wallet when i was his age lol.
