My Toddler Builds a Toolbox



I cut the parts for him from pine. If you look closely at the picture, you can see that I also drilled pilot holes for the nails. This will help to guide the nails in straight.

I especially enjoyed seeing how big brother handled the bent nail.

Little brother must have been watching because his bent nail didn't slow him down one bit.

Your strategy of using pre-drilled holes and using a workbench-clamp has inspired me to get my five grandkids into the shop.

Thanks so much!

Stephenw, I think you're doing great things as a dad by bringing your kids into the shop, and allowing them to do these things without an enormous amount of help. They'll learn so much by doing it themselves.
My dad used to do similar things, letting he help drive nails, helping measure, and giving me the freedom to do it without instruction. I did get a lot of cuts and hurt fingers but that's how I learned safety. Your boys are gonna be better off from what you're doing with them. Kudos to a great dad, especially as fathers day approaches.
