Kid Gloat: A Czardine Euro

[Czarcastic]

Czardine #1 - Joshua, age 15, was looking over my shoulder while reading the board last night, got the turining bug, and decided to try his hand at a Euro Kit. Up until now he's only turned slimlines.
This is ColorPly. Woodcraft gold Euro Kit. Hut Crystal Coat finish

Thanks for looking.

Great looking pen and your son is a handsome young man. The time you spend with him now will be returned to you many times over.

Hey Josh!
You didn't tell me last week you were a pen turner too, or did you?Who is better at finishing, you or Rachel?
I can see you two doing a "production line" and spitting those beauties out one after another.
You could draaw straws for who has to do the sanding!
NIce job!

Actually, Rachel is a better turner. She has more patience and artisitic expression. With just a little experience, she would probably be a better turner than I am (not like that's saying very much [] ). Joshua has excellent "fundamentals," in that his technique and form are superb, but like me, he lacks some of the "artistic" side that make good turners great.

I just love the fact that both my kids like to spend time with me out in the shop. I wouldn't trade that for anything!

You're lucky all I get is the neighbors ankle biting dogs,once they get their treats they leave.

With all these kids making such nice pens, either we're doing too good of a job teaching them, or we better pick up our skills some[].

Kol Tov,

Maybe we need to start a thread for kids. Maybe we will learn something. Nice pen Joshua!

I'm for that. In fact, for the next 4 Fridays, I'll be teaching woodturning to my shuls camp. About 10 kids over 8 yo. They'll be making a pen and a pencil, and if time permits, I'll have to think of something else for them to make.

Check out the pens that two of my older students did at:
