Some people are made to be parents and some are not. You are probably one of the best parents I've seen in recent years. What I really like is you build the things your kids wants or to make their childhood fun, this teaches your kids that hard work is what gets the things they want as an adult and not to take for granted the nice things they have. It creates a unique situation where you can give your kids things without them ever gaining an elitist attitude. Plus I respect the hell out of people who can make the things they intend to make and can create it from their imagination and creativity. You are a better father than I was and trust me that is not an easy thing to admit, I just wish I had the same level of interest as you have when I was younger. I kind of gained that in my late 20's and now 2 years from 40 I can say this type of work is really fun.

Great work. When my daughter got her Barbie Jeep, I installed a remote kill switch that worked at 100 feet. Nice addition.

In 1966 when I was a young boy in CT. we had a visitor to our metal shop class. He had a twin McCullough chainsaw motors and 4 wheel disk brake go-kart. It was a beast. I was hooked. You did a fine job building this sled. Congratulations.

Initially, I hadn't planned on watching the complete videos, #1-2-3-4, the more I watched the more interested I became, mind you, my youngest Son is 40 years old with his own kids. This might make a pretty nice project for him and me to do for his kids. I'm very impressed with your prowess in machine shop procedures.

You are an amazing Dad. In raising kids, you get one opportunity, there are no do overs and I cannot imagine your kids wanting it any other way. They are quite fortunate to have you. I ran go carts when I was a kid back in the 60s. We had basically 2 types, sprint carts such as yours and enduro carts where you were more laying down with a butterfly steering wheel between your legs and 2 gas tanks, one on each side of you. And..... we ran chainsaw motors, McCullough to be exact. Very high revving, could be clutches as you have or direct drive for more serious stuff. Old Tillotson carburetors. And your kids are out in the air, not sitting at some electronics console staring blankly at a TV screen. They will thank you later in life.

Genius level mastery - I’m in awe!!!! Your children are mire lucky than they’ll probably realize until they grow older!!

Just binge watched this series. Great job! Reminds me a lot of the kart my father built. It started life with a 3hp engine, by the time I had out grown it the kart had been upgraded a few times to hold a 8hp engine. That thing was fast enough to outrun the school bus! Good times and great memories. 30 yrs later my father and I still talk about it from time to time. Hope you enjoy it with your children as much as I did with my dad.

This was awesome to see and a sort of childhood dream realized. Your son and daughter are lucky to have you as a father!

Growing up, my dad built me a go cart. We had a couple, and a few dirt bikes. Mine didn’t look quite as good as that one did but I’m 28 now. I still remember those days like it was yesterday. You did a great job and your kids will cherish this! Nicely done.

Reminds me of my childhood. My uncle was paralyzed when he was a teen. So he learned small engine repair. It was one of the few things he could do from a wheelchair. He used to take the basket cases and what ever spare tubing my grandfather had laying around and build go-carts. Imagine an eight horse Brigs & Stratton on about 50 pounds of tubing with a 60 pound kids ripping up and down a country road. Oh, and disc breaks? Luxury. We had paddle friction breaks the rubbed the tires as hard as you could press the pedal to stop those beasts. I honestly don't know how none of us nieces and nephews didn't get killed. The 80's were a magical time to be a kid.

All I can say is WOW ! I'm impressed . All the work you went through to make this series and the cart itself. When I was 14 years old(many moons ago) I build a go cart using mostly parts from an old 60's era snowmobile . It was all done in my parents basement with a hacksaw and a 110 stick welder. It worked great.Now when I look back I'm amazed it even worked at all but it did.

I think it's great that a dad is using his talents to build things for his kids. Even better, we get some fun videos to watch out of it. Keep it up Tony.

Awesome build. Looks like a blast. Your TIG, Millwork, Lathe, & Fab, and CNC skills are awesome. To fab without a frame jig is very difficult! Keep the awesome videos & projects coming. Maybe cut where the frame is sleeved and make the frame longer. Make the seat a bench seat with a seat frame that's adjustable. This should accomodate your daughter & son. Make a cover on the front floor pan to protect rack & pinion from sneaker laces.

I can hear an excitement in your voice during this project for your kids that doesn't exist in any project you've ever done for yourself. Nice.

You're an amazing father. I've always wanted a go kart but my father was too busy working to help me build one when I was a teenager. When I have kids this is the kind of dad I want to be. Making time for them and letting them have fun.

Outstanding! Above all things, your kids will likely remember this build for the rest of their lives.

Just wanted tell you how much I enjoyed this build video, the second time. As a young boy I was obsessed with go carts, bb guns, and mini bikes. I never had them, but back then you'd just have to find someone who did. I really enjoyed seeing your mental process. Another thing that changed from way back then was that being a fabricator was not a compliment. Usually followed by a hiding, and lengthy retreat to my room to reflect on my misdeeds. Thanks so much. Keep up the good work.

sir you are a true craftsman ALL THE WAY AROUND ,from your fabricting,fathering,even yor film makin second to none. if your not a teaher somehere you shuld be. i hope to see many more things fom you.great job.

I'm sorry but I haven't seen a European car manufactured in the last 25 years without cup holders. The only exception I can think of are some of the exotic super cars.

I bought a go-cart to race when I was 15 years old, learned a lot about four-stroke engines as well as handling a variety of driving situations on different surfaces. Two other friends with more money were also racing with me and each of us had our own "pit crew." Of course, one of my friends was David Sosebee, son of three time winner of the Daytona Modified Cars when the races were held on the beach (asphalt track opened in 1959). Of course, the latter friend dominated our racing on several different surfaces, including a 1/4 mile dirt track for super modified cars. where we turned the track faster than the top class race cars. But I digress, At retirement age now and looking back on my "racing career," it was one of the most enjoyable things I ever did. I learned a lot about being a mechanic and got a lot of mechanical skills. And, most importantly, I strongly believe that the experience of go-cart racing helped my driving in cars tremendously. If you look at the early racing experience of most race drivers today, most, if not all, raced their way up the ladder in different classes of go-carts. Two of my friends went on to drive in NASCAR's Cup series and one won the NASCAR Championship. I went on to drive emergency vehicles for a time and still believe that my go-cart experience helped me get to the patient more quickly and safely and then transport the patient at a safe speed, avoiding lateral G forces, bumps and braking at a rate that could increase patient pain of hinder treatment.

ABSOLUTELY GREAT JOB !! It'll be decades before that smile leaves your kids faces, IF EVER !! ... TRUST ME !! You built some TERRIFIC memories !! GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY !!

My go-cart tires came from the airport, the take off tires from small airplanes they had a lot of tread left but couldn't be used on the plane, find a tire guy that does airplane tires, they use to give them to me.

6:54 best moment of the whole series

OMG, amazing Engineering, amazing video footage of everything, amazing Dad and a reminder to self of something I realized recently at the age of 51, if possible, start applying what we do for our employers or others daily to something we can do for our loved ones, parents, kids, ourselves... the whole dynamic of the project changes...

The very most impressive technological-skill based aspect of this project..: ..you finished it.. Remarkable!

Garage door opener or other radio transmitter to a kill switch so you can kill it remotely.

I always wanted to learn welding. It would allow me to create even more great builds with my wood working projects.

not to be picky but when welding hardwood its best to use a dowel of the same wood for filler. chopsticks can also be used as a backup.

Brother, my man! You will not believe how entertaining and educational these 4 videos are!

humor, technical finesse and imagination...this channel got it all

I'm 66 and would love to have this. Would you be my dad ?

Drop tire pressure very slightly, like 5-10%. I use an infrared temp gun on tires. Measure across the tread, look at inside, center, and outside after driving a few minutes. Measuring temp then compensating alignment and tire pressure works incredibly well for tire life!

I never watch this much video on one subject in a sitting. Very entertaining. Thanks!

Mr. Tony, I'm just 21 years old right now, but honestly, if and when I do have kids, I want to be a father like you. Honestly, I love machining and building "things" so if could do that, and also make some of the most important people in my life as happy as your kids, I'd be just as happy. Thanks for the videos you make. They're some of the most enjoyable in my books.

This was an amazing video. Plus the fact you made most of everything ... I really enjoyed watching the entire thing , your really good at explaining things as you go. I think you should do a series of videos, Love the humor "!"

What can you say about a dad who takes the time to show his kids they are the reason he works so hard each and every day. Great job!!! New subscriber.

Old Tony, there’s some great memories for your kids in this wonderful “quick” build. 5 star dad.

WOW, what a ride for a youngster!! I never had a go cart or scooter, I am green with envy, but at 6' 1" and well, full adult weight, I won't be showing up at your house for my turn on the cart. Great build, loved every episode, and the humor? Well that is what keeps me coming back to your channel.

You can make a seat insert from expanding foam. Basically you put a bag full of expanding foam in the seat and sit in it. Then you cut and shape it to be more comfy. Cheap seat insert. That's what the pros do

I got sucked in after seeing part 1. I ended up watching the complete build and I think I was smiling the whole time! I can only imagine what this means for your kids and the lifelong memories you will share with them. You sir, are quite possibly the coolest Dad on KZread.

Had a good time watching you build this. It's clear from the amount of time and effort that you put into this build, that you're a great dad, Tony.

My dad got me a go kart for keeping A-B grades in fourth grade, not sure if ever touched it after the fifth grade. It was a great concept, but they just break too easily.

I wish I had something like this as a kid. I had to make one myself out of planks and ask adults to push me around.

thanks for this share ! Amazing build how lucky the kids to have a Dad who spends his time doing stuff that will enhance their life! Cheers fella

Great job dad. When our twin sons (now 22 years old) were little I did a similar project. However, I did start with an old go-cart frame I bought from a farmer that had it in the corner of his barn. I then installed a larger motor on it. Also dealt with the same issues of gearing, and also the cheap wheels. We actually demolished the first set of wheel bearings and hub assembly. I then went to a local go cart shop and ended up ordering some pretty decent go cart specific wheels. Not the racing type, but just standard. I built a seat base using a cardboard template, then cut our plywood. Went to a local vehicle upholstery shop and got some scrap dense foam and vinyl for the set. We painted the cart white, used blue for the seat, and then used decals to make the cart look like one fo their favorite nascar drivers. We made ours a two seater so that I could be with them early on, then later they rode around together. Good times

You're an awesome dad...; ) Your kids will remember that Go Kart the rest of their lives.......good on ya!

God damn, that is one pretty looking go kart! Love it! Wish i had one when i was his age. All the best!

This was one of my favorite videos on KZread. It was real, even with all your amazing skills you still screwed up a few times to go back and fix it and show it was amazing. So much respect for the realism. Thank you for doing this it was a blast watching it.

Worth watching again after 5 years.
