    I am sure she wouldn't mind me using it. Especially after she see's me making rockers on a 40 year old brake made from tractor and combine ombine parts. It doesn't make the prettiest bends and a lot of times I need to throw a dolly and hammer on the edge to sharpen it up, but it works..

    It sure isn't that awesome machine their giving away though!

    My kids spend a great deal of time in the shop with me. Here is my son when he was three. And he actually has a pair of welding gloves now in case anyone wonders ;)

    He's now almost 6 and can tig.

    You've already won more than many will ever have. Plus it was a good tech.
