Default Fingers crossed or Damn I feel old!
Young Josh has has muckin around with metal for a while now.
I showed him the basics of welding, he taught himself the rest and then his uncle, a tradesman boily, polished him if you will.

He has made his own forge, forged his own tools and made heaps of stuff, from braziers to fire pokers to roses that hold tea lights.

So, what the f*#K are am I getting at??
Josh has been short listed for a Metal Fab/Engineering Apprenticeship with our local council.

Even if it goes no further, this time, he's only in year 10, and he's been short listed. They seem very impressed with him. So there is possibilities for the future.

cheers

Do him the world of good to get a trade under his belt.
Its a surprise that he is short listed as normally that sort of job goes to the son of some one in the know!
Good luck for him!

that's really good to hear mate nothing wrong with getting a trade and then maybe doing something else later he will always have a trade to fall back on but to be short listed at such an early age is just outstanding
