I am a grandpa. I would be over the moon with happiness to see my granddaughter do what you've done! Thank you for these explanations.
Thank you very much😊
Im an uncle and I wish I could speak another language like she does.
@@luciasworkshop So... We all are grateful for this revelation to answer so many questions, thank you so much because so many of us would have contributed to know these answers. On your shop rewire espisode, I thought I saw a silver UA-cam plaque just laying up there disrespected on a shelf. If there are any other accomplishments from you or yours could you please link it to to this channel so we can follow it -- unless the youtube god's have removed it and your don't want to talk about it which we will respect.
me too
@@theradioweyr No problem, here's my first channel: www.youtube.com/@LuciaRELOAD
We need more people like you in this world Lucia! Keep up the great work!
Hello Lucia,
Welcome to the world that grumpy men tend to think of as their own. I have been working as a machinist, toolmaker, while welding and fabricating what we need on our farm. Grandpa is fortunate to have someone to hand the reins to at this inevitable part of our lives. You, and your husband are fortunate also, to have each other to hug and lean on during “those” times.
My wife Diann and I have been married for fifty years, and are supportive of each other’s dreams and needs in life. This can be a great source of joy and comfort. My best to you and your family, in your adventure.
Your’s, is the first lavender mill vise that I have
Thank you so much for sharing your story Lucia! A wonderful example of how younger folks can follow a passion that we all can learn from. Appreciate you taking time to provide the english speaking version of your channel. It helps us all see there are wonderful people all over the globe. Your an inspiration to us all. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
I think you have achieved more in your 34 years than I have in my 74 years keep it going brilliant
the best Russian accent I've ever heard, congratulations!
UA-cam is the best, there are some seriously skilled and experienced people on here and gaining knowledge from the for completely free is amazing. The skills we learn on here would cost thousands in course fees elsewhere.
Hi Lucia. I'm Impressed by what Your doing. Alot of people would be afraid to do work in a Machine Shop. John Brzozowski, 01-19-2023
Hi Lucia, my name is Leonard. I think that it's so cool that you have chosen to put your grandfather's shop to such good use. I have picked up a few neat tricks and actually wanted to try and copy your plasma table when I get some free time. I would also like to say what a lucky man your husband is to have such a beautiful and talented wife that doesn't mind getting a little dirty in the shop. Also would it be possible for us to meet your grandfather? It would be an honor to meet and thank a man who was so instrumental I teaching and helping you when in his day was not so easy to do.
Thank you for being how you are, don't ever change,
Leonard
From the USA......I would love to be your neighbor, I live outside of Washingto, DC. and everyone here is a paper pusher, can not even change a light bulb. Your building skill is great. What a nice person, thank you for all the videos. I am waiting for your skid steer
project to start again. What a cool project.
.....You've described the metro suburbs fairly well.
I too am a grandpa and over 2 years ago pushing age 80 I decided to buy a TIG welder and learn aluminum welding. After building a couple of steel projects to get started on the machine, one of which was a stand for my mill, I switched to the aluminum. That stuff is very hard to weld compared to steel, and I don't know how you picked up those skills so very fast. I sure did not. Also I have been self taught mostly from UA-cam where I found you when you first started your welding in the shop. My first aluminum project was a cargo sled to tow behind the snowmobile. Not nearly as difficult as the boat you used to improve your skills. Now I guess it's time to go to the shop and continue on the current project, an aluminum launch tower for my rockets. You are amazing!!!!!
About being clean - I remember reading something Rudy Kouhoupt said. He has published many books about his shop wisdom, wrote many articles about machining and took and developed his own photos for the articles. Someone once asked why you never saw metal chips in his photos... he said you would see them when it was important for them to be there. I loved that.
You don't have to be greasy, dirty to be a good fabricator... When that's important to what you're doing then it'll show. lol
I used to run gyms and at the age of 36 decided to study my passion, engineering. Absolutely love female engineers like yourself. More power to you!
Plenty of British people watch your channel as well. Love your work.
Blessings to you and your supportive husband. Now a subscriber! I am a disabled veteran of the United States. Now work as a maintenance mechanic and fabrication work. Blessings to you and best wishes to you and your future. ❤!
Don't listen to the haters, as a guy who has worked in the trades and also takes excellent care of his hands, cleanliness is indeed a choice.
Lucia, it was a pleasure for me to find your channel and get to know your work and your challenges.
I'm Brazilian and I try to follow MANY Russian channels, mainly related to the development of mechanical artifacts and, surprisingly for me, I discovered a lot of similarity between Brazil and Russia in this field, in the way of doing things, in sharing their way of doing things, I would say, even in the lightness of living and working (in detachment from what they do and how they do it).
I've been learning A LOT from this follow-up of Russian videos (spoken in Russian, which I try to solve with UA-cam's automatic traditions). Today we have several Russians (usually Russians women) living in Brazil, spreading the Russian language and culture, and helping to bring our countries and our national souls closer together. A big hug.
Oh, thank you. It's great! Greetings from Russia ;0)
Don’t let the critics slow you down!! I really enjoy your videos! Clean hands and all!😁
I love you, with genuine admiration. Your husband is so blessed to have you and you to have him to motivate, encourage and support you to blossom into the beautiful flower yet capable powerhouse that you are., You are a blessing to the rest of us! Thank you both! My life is better and joyous, having experienced your videos!!
I'm not going to lie...I was 1st drawn to your channel by your appearance. A gorgeous woman welding? This I've got to see. But looks only get you so far. I keep coming back because your skills and projects are fantastic! Great channel. Your husband is one lucky guy.
🥲🥲🥲I also had my grandpa that loves machinery, he never get to showed me and now I have my own stuff and always think about him, because I remember when he was ill, he was telling me that this was so important. I was just a child and NEVER forget it. He said machinery change the world around us.
Thank You to your grandfather !! You and your husband together do a truly wonderful channel, and its so good to now understand your backstory. Im really proud of you for your interest, initiative and success, as well Im also proud of your husband for being a wise man to encourage and assist you to follow your interest. Here in Australia, most men seem to be not quite so evolved and many, many dont want women in 'trades' work. I know this from first-hand experience as a woman who went through hell doing an electrical apprenticeship. Although that was many years ago and things have definately improved, as the younger men are so much less closed-minded. So I get a lot of enjoyment watching your channel, and I look forward to seeing you complete your projects. Kind regards !!
Oh, thank you very much for the support and so kind words!
Smart, talented, pretty, and able all at the same time. Nobody is perfect, but you're about as close as you can get. Love the channel. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing some of your life story with us.
Thank you very much😊😉
I agree completely she is impressive on how quickly she has learned
thats pretty spot on, i couldn't have said it any better way.
@@GETTY-gr7gf Maybe. But since I have no idea who you are ... I'll take your word for it.
Thank you for the back story. It puts such a nice human touch on your content.
Beautiful, intelligent, well spoken and… WELDING ! UNBELIEVABLE ! And try to compare it to other “young ladies “ on TIC TOK 😂. ALL THE MAN AROUND THE WORLD ARE JEALOUS ! Greetings from Texas 👍🏻💪🏻✌🏻🇺🇸🇷🇺.
A proud Grandpa I must say. Good luck, I can see you are progressing well. Keep on doing what you are doing. Will always keep watching.
Your grandpa must be so proud. I hope one day to have such a wonderful grandchild to pass down my teachings to. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us strangers. Means a lot.
I taught for 25 yrs and just started teaching in a wood shop. I am disheartening with teaching as I don’t do I tell. I wonder what my use to society is? I grew up in Canada in an apartment. Having a skill and passing on true knowledge has real meaning. Never give up what you’re doing, thank you!
I know your Grandpa is so happy to know you learned a great deal wiyh his encouragment.
You welding skills are really super nice.
Have a blessed day and keep smiling.
Thank you! Have a nice day too ;0)
Wow! I really enjoy your watching your builds! Спасибо большое. 🙏 I think your choice l to learn to learn to machine and manufacture things was a good one. Honestly by watching you work I'm impressed with your quality of craftsmanship. 💯 Very few people take time to do things correctly these days and show such quality. Молодец! 👏👏
BTW I lived in Omsk Russia for more than 8 years up until February 2020. I traveled to many cities there. Such a beautiful country and such wonderful people. ❤ И да, я говорю по-русски язык, ну иногда не всегда хорошо 🤔😂🙈
Lastly I applaud your husband for being so wonderfully supportive. It is nice to hear about this. Such a good man. 😃
Lucia, you are amazing. and your English is Excellent your grandfather must be so proud of you and to see his shop continue on and to grow. Pete
You have really inspired me to do Mechanical Engineering, because I'm always afraid of big and dangerous machines. But when I saw a woman like you can do that, I'm not afraid anymore. Thank you again Wonder Woman.
Thanx Lucia for the precise intro.will share it with my ugandan community, happy to follow yo footsteps of self learning
Lucia you’re the GOAT. You have the best channel on UA-cam. 🫡🫡🫡
What a fabulous, enchanting & epic uplifting story of finding your vocation in this world where so many never try to reach their potential. May you be blessed with success, happiness & a long life. Thank you for sharing!
6:02 Back when i first started out a Very wise old man told me this, Son he said for those of us who are multi skilled there is way to much
Information to remember it all. The key is knowing where to look for the information you need to complete the task at hand.
This was pre internet days, so he turned and pointed to a very large library of books and manuals behind him.
Too this day i still learn new things from youtube videos.
If you want to learn something someone has made a video about it, gotta love youtube..
If my grandkids were as talented and driven as you, I'd be proud as hell.
Also thanks to your husband for supporting you and doing camera work. Keep up the good work you two 👍
I'm so glad to see someone follow dreams - your site is one of my favorite.
Greetings from the old welder Andi. That was so nice to hear your Story. 🤗
It's awesome to see more women welders and fabricator ! Your husband is a lucky guy!
I can only imagine how proud he is of you…, and how his wonderment at having such a beautiful and intelligent granddaughter…, I bet he’s humbled…
I've been around machines for about 30 years and also like to keep my hands clean if possible. Keep up the good work.
Also much respect for your husband to support your dream like this.
For a banker, you have the most beautiful welds I have ever seen.
Your grandfather must be extremely proud of you as well as the rest of your friends and family
I envy your husband, you are smart, lively, creative and most importantly handy... Keep up the good work, you've inspired me. And I've learned a lot. XOXO
You are awesome. I have a small welding and fabrication shop in Idaho specializing in pipe welding. I have been welding for 25 years and you inspire me at times. Best regards.
Watching from Australia. Enjoying watching the skid steer project
It's nice to speak english, i like the russian language but I don't understand anything. Congratulations on your channels.
Lucia is written the same way in spanish 😘
Hi Lucia !...Just a big BRAVO for what you are and what are doing ! Greetings from Greece !
I think it’s fantastic what you are doing, it’s incredible to see a woman that is a phenomenal self taught fabricator. I’m 34 with four children, three being girls. We watch your videos together and I think it’s very inspiring for them and myself to see the level you are at! As a self taught individual as well, I will be introducing them to welding/fabrication after watching your content. Thank you for what your doing, keep up the great work!
You husband is quiet good at handling the production/direction aspects, plus all the behind-the-scene muscle for your channel. You are a very pleasant, articulate and confident as the host and narrator. Truly interesting and a rare treat to enjoy.
Your grandfather must be very proud of your ability and understanding it's very impressive 👏
Wow. A woman with a workshop, just what a man needs! Is this some sort of dream? Interesting story, very well spoken, enjoyed the video. It was actually uplifting to see something nice from Russia with all that is going on and from such an educated and talented woman. Grandpa is a lucky man to have you, you would make him feel so content, his woodshop is not lost and you have learned the skills to use his workshop. Amazing. Thankyou and Congratulations from Australia. In Aussie, we say, Good on ya mate for having a go! 👍
Yeah. It's amazing how easy it is to drum up generalised racism in the western world.
To see you do the work you do is outstanding an the welding the designing on cad I can weld but my eyes are starting the feel the burn now and i do have two daughters i love to see them do what I do and my son but there still very young under 10 years old i have to say I'm very glad to see a change a female this time be a very good fabricator and o hope you expand on your blessed experience . God bless you and your family and if I was your grandpa I'd be proud too
Thanks for the backstory Lucia. Not only is your content amazing, so is your editing. I know having a channel myself, thats a whole other skill in itself. Looking forward to more videos!
Thank you😊
Need a Keystone Girl & Lucia colab lol!
@@sonarsup1934 hah! Ya thats a great idea. The Keystone girl wouldn’t be much help though. Unless she needs a beer of course.
Wow, what a woman. You are a rare gem. Keep the videos coming!
Bravo, young lady! Please keep up the good work. As a retired engineer I am very impressed.
Lucia, thank you for all that you do in your grandpa's shop and in your life. Do what you can while you can.
Thank you for your videos. Amazing work your husband must be so very proud. Wow what a woman.
Just amazing. You are beautiful, mechanically inclined, an engineer, very maticulas , and not only can you mig weld, but you can tig weld too. Very impressive.
Hello Lusia, I think it's good what you're doing, keep it up... Please read the caption, because I don't speak English very well. oh yes, you grow with your tasks
What a marvelous story, best wishes to you and your family.🤠🤠
You are an inspiration to all. You have proven if you put your mind to something you can achieve. Very impressive quality in your workman ship.
Thanks Lucia for the background on the shop and yourself. I appreciate that you are self taught, and do not let thing stand in your way. Kudos to your husband for assisting you in any manner that he can. Also, thanks for the motivation to clean up my shop as well.
💚🇬🇧🌱a very heart warming story, thanks for the video
I am working at a college teaching children mechanical engineering and electric installations. Unfortunately there are almost no girls for these coarses, something i do not understand. I see no reason why girls should not choose these professions since these days they are very well payed. Thank you for promoting and good luck!
Ah yes, nothing has had as big an influence on me like The University of UA-cam. Great to find your channel. I have subscribed.
I love your channel Lucia and thank you for keeping your cloths on in your videos. I’ve seen so many videos, of girls scantily clad to get more views.
I watched your show from Honolulu Hawaii , and you "Rock "🤩💥💯❤👍💪🤙🤜 🎶 No fear.
So glad to have found this channel; the content I look forward to viewing, and learning. I love Russia and Russian people. My friend Olya in St. Petersburg said to me "Donald, you are Russian, you have the mind of a Russian", which is high praise. I was an Army Intelligence Analyst for 21 years and my specialty was the USSR military and the equipment and doctrine. Now, I restore old Porsche's and other old cars.
I have seen several videos on this yt channel because I was curious about plasma cutting and I was fascinated by it. You have now a new italian follower :) great job!
You're the BEST!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to watch the video!!!!
I was impressed by you and your wisdom from your first video and am impressed more with each video. I love that you are using your grandpa's shop and tools and that you have the support of you husband and family behind you. That makes for a winning ticket.
wow your pretty amazing let's be honest ,, i watched all your videos kind of backwards.. your skid steer buil is amazing. i'm a self employed welder fabricator myself with cnc plasma etc and what you've achieved is unbelievable well done i will watch all your videos and the words about your grandfather were truly touching and reminiscent to my self.
Lucia! You area absolute breath of fresh air! Keep up the Wonderful videos. Your husband is a very lucky man. Thank you for your projects and the sharing of them. 😊
It was my pleasure to see this video. I'm from Brazil and your's videos are awesome. Thank you for share your's skills with us!!!
I too am a grandpa, I too would be over the moon if my granddaughter took over my workshop. She will be two years old in the Summer!
It is good that you are following your passion and not the money.
bienvenida colega al fascinante mundo del metal, soy de argentina , un viejo profesor de mecanizado y tengo mis maquinas aunque lo que mas hago es ajuste (scraping) de maquinas herramientas. Welcome colleague to the fascinating world of metal, I am from Argentina, an old machining professor and I have my machines although what I do most is adjustment (scraping) of machine tools
Prayers for your Grandpa. Keep up the good work.
I don't know how long you have been welding. But you are doing a really great job. Keep up the good work. I like to see what other people are doing. It helps to see other projects others are doing. And what to do and not to do. It gives me ideas as well. And different projects to make myself
Grand parents are the best. They have time and so much knowledge that your willing to listen to as they are not your parents. My grandfather was a fitter turner and could make anything probably like your grandfather. Enjoy as much time with him as you can I wish I'd spend more with mine. Thanks for sharing your story. 👍
This is a truly incredible woman. Wow.
Пару месяцев кто-то на этом канале написал, - "Она, говорят, из Коломбии, точно не знаю..." Хорошо, что после этого видео, вопросов больше не будет. 😎
Over the years, I've watched so many UA-cam channels where the maker starts off very modestly with basic tools and skills, and I've enjoyed seeing them grow and improve and upgrade. I feel like I found Lucia's Workshop at the perfect time (a few months ago). She obviously has some brains and native talent, as well as a decently appointed shop to work in, and I can only imagine how awesome this channel will be in five years. I am looking forward to great things from her. I would also like to see her get folded into the group of makers that have similar channels and who collaborate on various projects. With her talent and personality, I could easily imagine joint efforts with the likes of Abom, Fireball Tool, This Old Tony, Inheritance Machine, Ca Lem, and even April Wilkerson... if Lucia found herself playing with wood. Honestly, how fun would it be to see her build something silly with Colin Furze?
Just found this channel, I instantly loved it! Why? It is a rare sight to see an attractive and intelligent woman doing these trades. I have some Russian friends, and like most Americans, we don't speak any other languages. It would be AWESOME if at the end of your videos if you could teach the world a useful Russian phrase to help the world better communicate with our Russian friends. This is just an idea.
I'm a fabricator as well and have been for 35 years, but I think I'll probably be learning a few things from you. That boat is very impressive. Good job.
Oh, I'm very pleased with the fact that my videos are useful and contain things to learn even for experienced fabricators.
@@luciasworkshop My mentors told me you learn something new every day and it's so true. Again, for me, it's so uncommon to see woman doing what you're doing, so I hope you never tire of such an art. Have a great day
I`m a man but also I use a lot of hand-cream etc. when I`m welding or working with lathe or mill. Its better than crakning skin cause by welding rays or cooling stuf.
You are so very inspirational Lucia, I’ve been fabricating and welding for 40 years and am very impressed with your work. Can’t wait to see the completion of the skid steer
You are so good looking and have a wonderful personality. Your husband is a lucky guy. And I think you are lucky to to have a man that helps you like he does. I subscribed.
Amazing girl , a true treasure and your grandpa too.
YOUR THE BEST KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK THANK YOU. FROM AUSTRALIA.
Well done Lucia. You are an inspiration to all those who want to accomplish something,it's great that you can learn and complete any task you set your mind to. The world needs more people like you.
That is a great story! Your grandpa must be very proud of you. I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the great work.
Enjoyed hearing about how you got started. JD from South Carolina in USA
Your like a perfect person
Hugs and support goes out to you !
You're very smart using strong words, so passionate and inspiring
This is a worthwhile channel for my sub box, and what you say about the hand is true. The damage to my hands speaks more about momentary carelessness and lack of respect, than about experienced competent craftsmanship. A recent nick to a fingertip and a burn from touching metal I mistakenly assumed had stood around long enough to be touchable, neither or these were necessary.
A cook does not have to have lost fingers just because he works with knives.
I appreciate your view of things and think this metaphor about cook is great ;0)
Congratulations!!!.. Beautiful history!!!.. I love weld, fix, etc. You tell all!!.. the work can be clean!!!.. I wish vice success!!…👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔝🔝🔝
