Pretty awesome, Bob! It sounds like a action packed day!

Sometimes I wish I had kids to pass this stuff onto. Have any of you seen Charles Neil’s youtube video on introducing kids to woodworking. It gets you thinking. I’m not sure how to post the link – but if you can find Charles you can find the Youtube video.

Betsy , you don’t have to get one of your own, borrow a neighbours.
They are just as much fun and you don’t have to wash em.

Way Cool!!! I’m looking forward to when my grandkids are old enough to do this. And your comment to Betsy is right on. If you don’t have your own, grab one off the street. Kids need productive activities and good mentors. Sounds like a job for a LumberJock.

I had my granddaughter help unload a trailer loaad of material on Friday. I could have let the kid I hired go home and will next time. she’s 14 and kinda horsey. I asked her which she wanted to learn first , wood or leather. She replied, ” Dirt bikes!. I said, crap or something of the nature.

Collectively we must find ways to drag them out of the malls and away from the TV.
The kids are brainwashed clones of humans today.
