Indoctrinated another one!

So my son likes to come out in the shop with me and hang out pretending to work on his own projects. I usually just give him a scrap piece of 2x4 and some sand paper and tell him that he needs to make it smooth! This time however, I thought, screw it! He's hung out here long enough, he deserves to get to do something really cool. I told him, "Come on over here buddy, let's make mommy a cool vase out of that old cherry log! Check out the pic! He was laughing and loving life! The vase never turned out due to a big crack that just kept getting bigger and bigger, but who cares. We had fun making that broken thing!

Great to see! Good Job, but please add eye protection to the list.

Awesome!
Good to catch them while what YOU do still interests them .... :biggrin:

+1 on safety equipment. If you have it, he needs it, and maybe more.

A+ time with the Son,

Yeah, I put one of my dust masks and an old pair of ballistic glasses on him but they kept falling off. The dust mask became a necklace and the glasses became a chin strap. LOL!

If he is over 5, he will tell you about this day when he is 30+. Amazing the things they remember.

(Oh, and you'll feel pretty GREAT when he remembers!!)

Yeah, I was going to mention something about the eye protection but, going from one pic to the other, I forgot all about that, and started to see the real fun moments that kid had with you, while getting a little shower of shavings all over him and I can tell you this, sure safety gear is certainly important, but a little dust will not hurt him and from what I see, both of your enjoyment and you son's excitement of being so close to action, has put a very special smile in that kid's face, something that will worth quite a lot, in years to come...!

Cheers
