Child's Play

[MattDaddy]

Last year I made pens for my two sons' teachers. This year, my 8-year old wanted to make it himself. Other than a little help with the final turning (getting it down to the exact size), he did everything. The segmenting and color choices were his decision. We took pictures of him while he was doing each step to show his teacher that he actually made this himself. A pretty proud papa am I...

It's good to get the kids involved. Always helps to talk with them while working, they are relaxed a liittle more and respond better. Keep up the good work.

some of my best times are in the shop with my 9 year old daughter. these memories I will always cherish. by the way she can do a slim line by herself.(after I cut and drill the blanks)

A pretty proud papa am I...

And you have every right to be: Nice work!

AND I'd bet my life's savings that his teacher is truly touched by this.

Cheers!
