Galoot In Training -

[Dave Anderson NH]

Having a son who uses forked tail apprentices and has been corrupting the mind of my grandson Aaron with thoughts of Porter-Cable, Jet, and Delta, I needed to apply some correction. Having him home alone with me today while my wife was at the doctors and no one was around to interfere, I decided to teach about the paths of righteousness. We had a great time and it's a good way for Grandpa to have some school vacation time with him. It has been decided that he will get to spend one weekend nite a month visiting and I'm going to build him a box so he can reach the bench more comfortably. He is going to learn about the truly important names in woodworking: Stanley, Veritas, Lie-Neilsen, Spiers, and of course Norris.

Hopefully the young man will watch and learn from both you and your electron using son and ignore both your biases. That way he will grow into a fine woodworker competent with whatever tool best fits the job and be able to outdo Dad and Grandpa!

Somehow, I bet you would be just as proud anyway you look at it. How old is this budding maker of shavings?

I also have a Grandson (one of 3) who is a young apprentice. It really warms your heart to have the Grandkids in the shop. Here is my apprentice:

Great picture. I can read his lips: "Full width shavings!"

Actually he was saying "have we got anymore Bud Light" --- A chip off the old block

It was truly a great day for me and of course the best part is I'm going to get to do this one day a month. YAHOO !! Today was actually a little bit of a teaser for him. He's been wanting to do this for a while so I let him do some easy stuff and just play. Next time we will start on a series of project oriented lessons, maybe a birdhouse or a key chain rack for him to give to my son. I'm open to any suggestions you folks might have. DAMN I'm proud of him.
