Nice project for you and the grandkids. Great job. I’ll bet he’ll remember every minute of shop time.

It’s funny that patron mentioned Bullwinkle. When I suggested we name the moose Bulwinkle, all I got was a blank stare. It seems that is one icon that has not been passes to this next generation. Thanks for all the nice comments, guys. It was a fun project.

That little man is going to be standing in his woodshop with his grandson in about 70 years remembering this project. He’ll smile to himself and then tell his grandson the story.

Very very nice

croquetman,
I know you’ve graduated to the pinnacle of success, when you can enlist the aid of your own sanding and finishing specialists! That looks like it was one of the most difficult sanding projects you could find! I’ve never seen so many curves ….. and the base? Well it looks like Gabe enjoys his assigned duties very much. I know you had much fun as well! It’s always great fun, having family in the shop with you. Congratulations and please pass along the compliment to Gabe as well, on such a nice lamp. I’m glad to see that you’re sharing and passing on love of the craft.

Sincerely,
Ken McGinnis

Actually, Ken, my wife couldn’t help herself; Gabe and I were having too much fun, and she was concerned we’d get Danish Oil on his shirt and shorts – big deal! She even makes me wear clear clothes on the weekends, so her behavior is understandable. I have a year to come up with a Gabe/Grandpa project for 2010. It’s always a challenge since we don’t have a lot of time. In the meantime, he’s trying his hand at golf, and, if he can get over his aversion to worms, fishing.

Gabe!!!Way to go Gabe!!!!

You and Grampa made a great lamp.

Unlike me, I’m sure you are talented enough to put jam on toast.

You should be very proud. And you are lucky to have such a great man for a Grandpa!!!!

-- "Not skilled enough to wipe jam on toast!"

That is so cool! A lot of lessons and experiences here. Wow, does it get any better….........

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

To say that Gabe is proud of his lamp seriously understates the state of things. We had originally decided the lamp would go in his room. His mother would have none of that. The lamp is on a side table in the living room, prominently displayed for all to see. My daughter is Gabe’s biggest fan being the youngest with 2 older sisters – poor kid may never recover from childhood. Anyway, with all that reinforcement, he is one proud 6 1/2 year old. Until next year’s shop project materializes, we are filling in with golf lessons.

There’s a Moose on the Loose!!!! What a great Grandpa.. Great job.

We are both looking forward to this year’s Camp Grandpa project. Will we work in the shop, or play some golf? Maybe both.
