This year a neighbor encouraged us to have our kids enter a craft in the Arizona State Fair. After looking through the catalog, one category hit close to home: Metal Craft. We knew we had the resources, but the kids also needed the skills. So one afternoon, Briggs and Finn came over to Helser Brother to have me teach them how to weld and to build their projects for the Fair. After looking at all the possible parts, the kids quickly decided what they wanted to make…….
Welding must be part of the Helser DNA, because after only a short while, Briggs and Finn were able to weld without my help.
The finished products were mother and child bird team by Briggs, and a sword fish by Finn.
Yesterday the whole family went to the fair to find out if the boys’ projects had placed. We are happy to say the Briggs placed second and Finn third in the Metal Craft category.
The kids liked welding so much that they can’t wait to work on their next project. We’ll keep you posted.

Those boys are very talented and have wonderful parents. It’s great to get them involved in what you do. I would buy their art as well! I’m with you Heather.
