My apprentice’s training is going well. While he is still too small to use the planer, he has enthusiasm: In the meantime, I’ve put him to work sweeping up using his specially modified broom. He LOVES the shop. It’s one of his favourite hangouts. He wanders around putting scrap wood into various buckets or sweeping “up” sawdust while I do non-powered projects (which right now is mostly finding space for all the random things that have accumulated on surfaces). I have had to put some spare foam insulation on two corners of my table saw table, though, as he tends to not watch his head when he’s intent on sweeping and today he walked into it a couple of times. |

Glad he’s out there with you and is so interested. Bet you find other woodworling things he can feel he’s accompolished, maybe sanding a little. -- Russell Pitner Hixson, TN 37343 bassboy40@outlook.com |
