A new young turner

[David E Keller]

Here's a shot of my four year old helping me rough out a pen. He loves 'helping' me... I hope that lasts.

David that is awesome. It doesn't get any better than that.

David, that is a great pic!! Neat effect with the "flying chips." Getting him started young is the key.

I wish some of my flock of kids and grandkids had an interest in woodworking, but seems the theme these days is to stay constantly on the move with soccer games, baseball, etc. On any given weekend, we will have grandkids playing soccer in at least two states - not sure that is a healthy arrangement. No quiet time, no shared time (other than traveling to games in a made rush, no creative interests......am I just getting old?!?!?

You're in trouble David. :eek:Yeah, but John, you have taken the road less traveled, and your mileage may have affected the outcome....just sayin'... maybe the boy will have a better ride!!:D;)

Ain't that the truth. I need some better tires....and shocks.....and struts...a little grease.....new paint job......

David, that picture is PRICELESS! I envy you and enjoy as much of that kind of time as you can with your children. Kids enyoy that. All the running around and soccer stuff is probably more for parents egos than it is for the kids. I have soccer grandkids and on the rare occasions they get to stay with me, they work with me in the shop. They love it.
