My Son's First.

[kkwall]

Hi All,


School holidays have started, and with the poor weather we are having, my 9 yr old son decided he wanted to help me in the workshop.


Here are the items he made. A "Rocket" pen and a bottle stopper.


Rocket Pen in White/Blue Acrylic, and Bottle stopper in cross cut spalted Ash.

He really enjoyed making them, and wants to try something else!

I think he is hooked!!!!!!!!

Kenny he makes better stuff than you do![)][]
Only joking, they look excellent especially as they are his first![:0][]

Hi Mark,

He is rightly very proud of what he has made.[]

Only problem is, I think I will need to get hold of another lathe, as he is keen to do more.[B)]

That said, perhaps I could give him the Jet Lathe and get a Nova DVR 3000 like your's for myself.[}][]

I think your son did a great job on that pen, I like the design he used.

Very nice work, you can be very proud of him, and he can be proud of his work.

Very, very nice....:Your son should be very proud.... bad weather [^]...from the looks of Wimbledon, I see what you mean.

I was going to try a closed end over the next couple of days. I may not now as your 9 year old will put me to shame.[V] Very impresive!!

 

[DocRon]

Very nice. You are both to be congratulated, not only for the results, but also for the process of the father-son cooperation.

I think your son did a great job and a pat on the back for being a parent that didn't tell him to quit bothering you and teaching him something. Enjoy your time with him, they grow up way too fast.

Hi All,

Thank you very much for the comments. My son is very proud and keen to do more.


Next up is a small bowl.[](Need to get that new lathe!)

Tim - Afraid it isnt a closed end. The cap is just hidden.[]


Main thing is he is having fun, and I am enjoying teaching him.[]
