Priceless

[James Combs]

My youngest Granddaughter Bryce, makes her own Diva (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU3vLSP_QBU&feature=share) with only a little help from Poppy. :cool::D
Just turning 16(driving permit next month) and a star soccer player (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJ58KD3VK5U&NR=1&feature=endscreen)(#39 in this vid) but she can take some time to spend with her Poppy.:):D

Edit: Posted on youtube by her Father.

I think I have a good idea of who was having the most fun. Well done sir, and a good video as well.

[Steve Busey]

Priceless indeed; thanks for sharing James!

[Roger Chandler]

That is special, JD! What a record of a precious memory for your family..........that video will hold a special place for her and you for all your lives..............nice of you to share!

BTW, Poppy's shop looks like a nice place to hang out! ;)

[Tim Rinehart]

JD, thanks for posting that. I watched it from start to finish, very enjoyable and something I'm sure Bryce will treasure as much or more than the pen itself! Kudos to the video team.

A grandfather's dream. I think a purple turning smock for Bryce will be a perfect Christmas gift.

[Steve Schlumpf]

That was really cool James! Thanks for sharing!

[Darren Jamieson]

I am not a grandfather yet and my kids are only 5 and 3 but that video sure gives me hope for future hours spent in the shop with my kids and god willing with my grandkids. Great job and I hope you made many copies.:)

[James Combs]

Thanks to you all, you would not believe the smile I still have on my face.:D:D

[Ken Glass]

James,
What a great video and Granddaughter. Mine has freckles too. I can't wait for my 9 yr old G-daughter to get a little older. Thanks for sharing.

[Doug W Swanson]

Nice video, James. It looks like Bryce enjoyed her shop time with you and the pen turned out great! Thanks for posting!

Thanks Bernie!:D


Nice video, James. It looks like Bryce enjoyed her shop time with you and the pen turned out great! Thanks for posting!
Thanks Doug, She is the youngest of five and the only one that would even consider trying to turn something.

This has to be some of your fondest shop time you have ever had. I had a smile on my face just watching the video her father created. I think she will always cherish the pen that you helped her creat. Great to see this kinds of things!!

[Marc Himes]

Wonderful. I have shared turning with some grandchildren of my own and they all enjoyed it. That looks like a great pen and a wonderful granddaughter.

[Sid Matheny]

Yes priceless and a seed planted. Thanks for sharing!

I got a question about the face shield and her hair, if she have pull the hair over the shield , would the hair help to hold the shield in place

Thanks for the Question Ray, to be honest we never considered it. However, when we first tried to put the shield on her, her ponytail was much higher on her head and would not allow the shield strapping to go down over her head. She lowered the banding of the ponytail by about an inch and a half to allow the strapping to come down over her head far enough to be tightened up. I suppose if we had been thinking we could have just as easily flipped the ponytail up inside and over the rear of the strap. There is a negative I see in doing that and it is the tail would have covered up the tightening mechanism and her hair could have gotten wrapped up in it as it was turned to tighten the band. From my oversize 7.25 head to her relatively small one the knob had to be turned several turns for it to tighten.

Thanks Michael, I really appreciate your comments and you pretty much nailed my thoughts too.

Thanks Marc, quality time with the Grand-kids is hard to beat and seems like much harder to find.

hair caught in anything, CAN YOU SAY OUCH for each strand of hair that could been tangle in the knob

[Jerry Rhoads]

James, yes this is extremly priceless. Will show video to my 11 year old Grand Daughter. She has made a couple of pens
Your Granddaughter had a nice touch with the EWT tool. I have trouble teaching adults to have that touch.

[Richard Jones]

You can't put a price on that, for sure. And changing my will has entered my mind once or twice as well........................:)

Hey, maybe she can market a line of pens that match the nail-polish-of-the-day.......................

Great vid, and I know you're still smiling....................

[Rich Aldrich]

Awesome James. I wish I could get one of my three daughters interested.
