is it a good idea to fix your kids' cars for them?

My father is a farmer and could basically call him a millwright without papers. He has put to shame numerous trade millwrights and numerous engineers with what he manages to accomplish with the farm machinery. He has custom built numerous things only to see his inventions turn up elsewhere with a big name on it. I have yet to see my father stumped on a project. If people in the community have a problem they come seek out my father. Yes even industry professionals. He can make professional welders look like crap. Maybe he is too high on a pedestal for me?

I somewhat learned from him with some things as time went by. However by the time i was 11 I had an off the farm job in a restaurant.

When i finally realized what I should be doing in life i was 23 and decided to do something mechanical so i became a trade machinist. Now my father and i combine our knowledge and fix things that people say cannot be done. It can be interesting when either one of us get an idea of what to do and how to make something better. The brainstorms sometimes become nightmares .... but there is always something to work on in our shop.
