My Assistant (Daughter)

Oh man, I love working with my little girl. She is so fascinated by the craft. Well done bringing your daughter into the shop. Since you posted this thread as a completed project, I can only assume she’s made from Angel wood. :)

-- Learning is like a door. Open it and there are hundreds more on the other side. Thanks for all the lessons!

All of my kids grew up working in my shop with me. Great memories. I remember how we celebrated the first time Gina nicked herself with a chisel. She was also the bandsaw queen!

-- How it happened that Mastro Cherry, carpenter, found a piece of wood that wept and laughed like a child.

Not everyone has a pretty little assistant plus she’s your wonderful daughter to boot .

Wonderful time together she will not forget

Mine currently just wanders in, finds a stick of wood she likes and wanders out swinging it every which way. Although I look forward to when she can join me in the shop like yours does I’m not in a hurry for her to get there. Glad to see you’re passing on the fun.

I don’t think this qualifies as a “finished project”, more of a work in progress!!! Great start though!!!

-- Randy-- I may not be good...but I am slow!

Well well! You are one lucky Dad to have such a pretty assistant. Makes a day of work that much more fun!

-- Tony C , My high school shop teacher said "You can do it"... Now I can't stop!

What else is there.
You’re a lucky man.

-- Ain't better or worse than any other woodpecker in the woods.

Enjoy the time while you can. It’ll go by WAAAY TOO FAST!
Seeing posts like this makes me wish I could turn back time (big sigh). When I think of all the times I missed to be able to do things like this with my girls.

You’re doing both of you a huge favor, keep it up

Woohoo!!

GIRL POWER!!!!

Here’s my little assistant :)

She likes to sand, so I give her scrap wood to sand while I work on things.
(The saw dust in her hair is because she tried to play in the shaving pile below my lathe, needless to say I had to stop her and bathe her that night lol)

Also, no judging me for having a dirty floor lol, I need to vacuum it lol.

She is a terrific little helper.
I see she had long beautiful hair. I must say this but I think you already know to keep her beautiful hair away from anything that it can get caught up in. I had to say that or it would bother me if I kept my mouth shut.

My little helper is now in her late 30’s. My how time flies! I’d give anyting to do it all over again!

She likes to sand ? She should get a fat allowance.
