    Know how to keep a JET mini busy......I do

    Just set it up for someone who had rather be turning something than playing video games and you've done it. I'm talking about my 13yr old, Max. I've just posted some things that I've been working on and now I would like to post one of Max and some of his turnings.
    The following descriptions may not be in same order as the pics, I tried that yesterday without success.
    One is a Spalted Sycamore bowl.
    One is a NE Pecan bowl.
    Another bowl is made from Wormy Chestnut.
    While Bottle stoppers are in another pic.
    There is a one of Max sanding a cedar box he made.
    He has many more pieces that I've not shown, such as, mushrooms, pens and pencils, just to name a few. Thanksfor looking

    Looks like hes quite the turner in the making. His story sounds the same as mine, played video constantly until I fell in love with the lathe.

    Headed in the right direction!

    Tony, My son just called me from Idaho where he is stationed in the air force. He told me he is getting deployed to Egypt for 40 days at the end of September, then to Afganistan in Feb of next year. I miss having him around to drive me crazy and to ask all the questions that he asked me over the years! It is wonderful to see your young son doing something constructive and appreciating what he does, and having a dad that gives him encouragement and mentoring!

    Congrats to Max and you for having a wonderful father and son bond!

    It makes me feel good inside!!! Thanks for sharing with all of us,

    Jeff

    Max,

    Way to go! Those are some nice bowls you've made. You are ahead of me on bottle stoppers. Keep up the good work, but most of all have loads of fun with the lathe. Be safe!!

    Very impressive and definitely on the route to the vortex! Hope he got the safety and lungs awareness speech at least twice...

    Nice job Max but I feel I have to add my 2 cents... Where are your safety glasses and dust mask. It looks like your off to a good start. now your dad has to buy another lathe se he can turn too.

    My 13 year old grand daughter spent the night earlier this week and made two pens. A Sierra and a fountain pen. Her first time turning acrylic.

    It's great seeing kids falling down the same vortex as we did.
