What can a woodworking Grandpa say to that?
What can a woodworking Grandpa say to that?
I think the appropriate response is "how many would you like?"
Can't think of a better reason to make saw dust!
C'mon Ed; she's waaaay too cute to be your granddaughter
You have a great reason to build things, for the rest of your life..
Now that's how you both get good memories!
Grampas can wear do-rags? Aaaaalllll Riiiiiiiiight!

Hey now. I have been wearing those since before they were know as "do rags". Before they were sweat rags, bandanas, and I don't remember what else. Anyway, great pics. Brings back good memories with my daughter. Thanks.
I just became a grandpa 16 months ago and 3/4 of my woodworking has been for the grand daughter, I love it.
I will have to 2+ it on the answer of "how many would you like?"
Those are great pictures......
The best answer is "I'll make one for you if you promise to help me." Then teach her something about woodworking and do a little bonding!
Ed, thats really cool and a great way to spend time in the shop and bond with the little ones. Your helper sure is a cutie!!
If at first you don't succeed, look in the trash for the instructions.
Ed....You are such a sucker! She's got you wrapped around her little finger! Rightfully so Grandpa!
My grandkids are making me a great grandpa now.....
Enjoy the time with her. She'll grow up and appreciate it!

So much to learn, so little time.....
Hey Ed, fun being a "Grandpa" isn't it? Great pix that will bring great memories later. Enjoy every minute with her, they grow up to fast. She loves being with you from the look in her eyes.

My Grandfather and Grandmother came to America from Sweden in 1920. He was schooled in the Sloyd methods of woodworking while growing up in Sweden. He earned his living doing decorative inlays on veneered furniture.
He passed along many pieces of furniture and a guitar that he made for me. I still have all the pieces and a few cherished hand tools that I now use.
For that last few years, it has become my turn with our grandkids. The first few projects were simple toys, however, they are now getting to the age they are requesting Windsor chairs.
And so it goes.........
Life's too short to use old sandpaper.
