A little help this weekend

[Dick Parr]

I spent to much time in the shop this weekend but I had some fun and spent some time with one of my oldest (9) grand daughter in the shop. I wanted to finish up the 30 pens for the FPP so that I could get them out this week. When my grand daughter asked what I was doing so long in the shop and I told her what it was about, she wanted to help. So I let her do some of the sanding on a couple of pens. She wanted to use the lathe, but after I showed her some of the things that could happen she decided to wait until she was a little older before we got started on that. She still had fun and we spent time together and that’s all that counts

That's just super, Dick! Sounds like you had some real quality time with your grand daughter and the both of you had fun! :D It's nice that she volunteered to help and also good that she knows enough to not push herself into something she's not entirely comfortable with. A misqueue now could very well scare her off permanently. Good move on your part in showing her some of the not-so-pleasant possibilities. She sure looks all happy with the pen in her hand! :cool:
