I had a great moment recently when my 3 year old son, Jacob, told me, "Daddy, I want a pen for my desk". This brought a tear to my eye as I brought him into the shop and had him pick out a pen kit (Ellipse Ballpoint - Black Ti & Ti Gold from Exotic Blanks) and then he chose a wood blank (a spalted wood blank). I turned it and finished it and he "helped" me assemble it.
He is now hooked! Whenever I am in the shop, he runs and puts on his safety glasses and watches the sawdust fly! I couldn't resist posting a few pictures of him helping to assemble a cigar pen that was going out to a customer.
These are the types of pictures that would be great to include in the upcoming 13th Annual IAP Birthday Bash, "Shop Life Photo" contest!
Just be sure they haven't been published before (I just eliminated the ones here by posting them before entering them into the cost)...but hey, I'm running the contest so I'm already eliminated from entering!). Be sure to look for the contest to start the first of February...start taking some pictures of that sawdust flying!
