Eliminating TV & making pens
I'm new here and found this website while helping our kids find something to do besides watch TV & play video games. It's winter here in Michigan, cold with no snow so it's difficult to get them motivated to do outside. I hope you like our story. You can view it on Home Page
My first website and their first stab at pens. We give them tips and guide them and they turn them. |

Eliminating TV & making pens
Welcome. Kids need good interaction with their parents to help share and guide them through the good easy parts of life and especially the rough tuff uneasy parts.
With 14 Grand kids and 4 or 5 Greats, I enjoy time spent with them all. Keep up the goodassisting and guidance. Ray |

I think what you are doing is great. My parents killed the "electronic babysitter" when I was rather young. It makes you do crazy things like go outside and play or read. Welcome to the group. Just understand that soon both of those kids will want their own lathe.

Hey, Teresa. Welcome from down the road (Webberville). Glad to see the kids are wearing safety glasses! Also, consider some form of respiatory protection when they're sanding and (PLEASE!) remind them to roll up their sleeves when turning. Not many things worse than watching the lathe grab your baggy cuff and start rolling it up (with your arm in it) and not being able to do anything about it.
Best from your neighbor,
