    Fantastic! A couple more kit projects and he will be ready for that popcorn bowl project. A memory forever.
    When working I had more money than time. In retirement I have more time than money. Love the time, miss the money.

    Imagine the thrill & pride he'll feel when his parents open their gifts. Outstanding indeed!

    John,
    That's so great. He needs to include your pictures in a frame as part of the gift!

    Merry Christmas!

    George,

    Perhaps some great-grandkids in the shop at some point, eh?

    Yes, a closer photo of the things would have been good, I ran out of space on my composite image.

    His favorite operations were drilling the holes, the smoke from the burned lines, and mixing the epoxy. The sanding and finishing, not so much.

    I would have liked to see larger pictures, but it's fantastic to see one so young working with their hands. Someone mentioned the pride on Christmas day, but I'll bet the memory will last a lifetime or more.
