Allow me to congratulate you on not raising a worthless human. This guy will go far. You gave him the skills, now he can go use them.

@BRUISER @WARRIORWELDING do those tools hold the metal with the threaded holes and some sort of clamp? I have used cheap magnets for years and hate how they collect shavings. @BRUISER ier great job you and your better half raised him right!Them fireball squares are awesome and make somethings stupid simple. Nice job by the young man!

Yes they do have attachments for the threaded holes. He just used them so he could see it being straight or not. He would tack each piece and than use them to check square.
These are aluminum ones, so they are nice and light.

Fire ball has a got sale pitch on them. They come with tabs for the holes. Tabs can add a flat plane to lay metal on and then but to the square surface. Sales pitch is making up for wavy tables or non uniform surfaces. I've used mine rarely. Used them more just to add another shoulder to for better fast framing up square.

Foam roller! Squish it tight and full coverage in two swipes. Aerosol and spray methods waste 90 percent of the paint or more.When i got home he said painting expanded metal with a paint brush was terrible
Edit:Foam, not any of the other "hairy" rollers....to much of the roller gets cut and hung up in the expanded metal.

Next is work bench. I had him hold it up for the Pic. It will swing up against wall when not in use
