I have been making project and safety videos as makeups for my students. My son, Turner, wants to get in on the fun. He actually turns most of the pen. He has helped me with about half a dozen pens or so. He even wants a lathe for Christmas this year! Now that makes a shop teacher dad proud!

Let’s try this. I changed settings so that everyone can see it. My default is only friends on facebook, that probably came through to here. First time embedding a FB video. Sorry. Hope this works.

Yes, Turner is his name. Since I am a teacher we were trying to find a name that wasn’t associated with any knuckledheads that I may have taught in the past. We were exploring in the name book around Tyler and Travis and my wife saw the name Turner. It was the old lathe turners who made spindles and what not. Modern day translation is woodworker. My wife and I were thinking just how ironic his name comes into this situation with his interest in the lathe.

Great video enjoyed it. I believe the future of Lumberjocks and our craft, is still alive if everyone was like your son. You can really tell he enjoys being out there with you. Keep it up he will turn out to be a fine man..
