DIY CHIC MACHINE for the GIRL'S workshop

[lucia workshop]

I will really need a welding positioner for the building of my skid steer and not only. It took a lot of welding and metalworking to create it, but I'm sooo happy with the result! Come check it out too and welcome to my YouTube channel for more videos

A well-deserved award for a worthy build to a skilled craftswoman

Good work! I recommend your videos to girls here, there's no reason only boys should get to play with the big toys.

[Christophe Mineau]

Yes, great, congratulations !
And finally, it's a lady who wins the tool of the week at HMT !
This is great and I personally would prefer to see more and more women builders (and there are) than women in bikini on these pages.

[jdurand]

I don't even look at the bikini pages, just the machines and tools.

I don't even look at the bikini pages, just the machines and tools.

I don't mind photos of pretty girls, but they're not the biggest attraction here, and that's for sure. Two thirds of my children are female, and I tried to teach them all that there are only two jobs that are gender-dependent. Bearing children, and fathering them. Everything else is just work, and gender has nothing to do with who does it. I changed diapers and fed my kids, from the day I brought the first one home from the hospital. Bought them their first tools and toolboxes, and tried to teach them as much as I could. I also wash dishes, cook, clean, and do laundry. I can sew on a button, and hem a pair of pants. It won't be pretty, but it will work!

Grandma, who was a newly-wed during the Great Depression, taught all of her nine grandchildren to do lots of basic self-care tasks. I tried to do the same for my kids, and if I ever find out I have grandkids, will try to do the same for them.
