I know many of you have kids that work with you in the shop. Both my boys were teenagers when I started woodworking, and it wasn't a very "cool"thing to do. Recently, though, my 18 year old asked if I would help him make a picture frame as a present to his girlfriend. We spent the afternoon in the shop planning and executing the design he chose. It was his first real woodworking experience. though he has done construction of sets for plays at school. No arguments, no raised voices, no hurt feelings,
than he thought.
I know many of you have had similar experiences sharing with your kids, but this was a first for me. I hope all of you with very young kids can have this much fun some day!!
