I have some pretty talented kids but yesterday I was visiting a local shop to check on an old car for sale and saw this 11 year old boy mig welding a box he had made from torch cutting steel off of other stuff and bending it in a vise. Then today I went to pay for the old car and he was doing the brakes on the front of an old ford pickup...he is 11 year old! Pretty amazing kid for this day and age. Most kids his age are just hammering the video games, not there fingers.
My little brother was and is still like that. He was way advanced even at age 7, kind of like the Terminator movie, when Arnie looks into the cab of a semi and sees the whole interworkings of the transmission and drives it away. Some kids have it an an early age. Bob
