team tractor Posted November 30, 2019 Report Share Posted November 30, 2019 I’ve been trying to get my boy away from the screens in his life so I tried him in the workshop. hes made all these phone holders 😎 with now hole for charging. he found out the timber and set the 4 sided planer up . Ok I’ve used the saw but he pushed them through the plane as it’s enclosed. he’s glued them up and hand sanded them. To top it off he’s sold 8 today 😮 on Facebook. Not bad for a 10 year old Sorry pics are sideways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got a gift and don’t realise the same as he’s an amazing shot but he’s not really interested. You don’t with all the bills that go with it. it saves hours unloading timber but with tests, insurance, maintenance it’s not cheap. if it breaks I don’t think we’ll bother again. 👍.

Mice! Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 That's great going TT, cant believe no one asked if he still has all his fingers 😉 I'm a bit anal about putting my kids pictures out there, but kids do you want to paint my new squirrel feeder?

Walker570 Posted December 11, 2019 Report Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Have him make an end grain block cutting board TT. Not difficult with your kit(table saw and planer) and when complete really does look good. Did you see the one I made with some of those off cuts you gave me. If I can make one I am certain your lad can. Edited December 11, 2019 by Walker570 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
