4 Hours Welding a Drift Kart Frame, No Talking | Slow Garage TV

No fast cuts. No music. No yelling. Just 4 hours of real fabrication while building the Dad Drift Kart. Late nights in the garage, welding, machining, problem solving, assembly, and workshop atmosphere. I wanted this to feel slower and more immersive than modern content. Something you can throw on while working, building, studying, relaxing, or falling asleep. This is the real process behind the Dad Drift Kart project.
