Jim,
This thread and the pictures are just fantastic. I do sense however that were going to start seeing a little more Neander influence with the youngun's in the shop.

Jim, what a great post. Congrats.
Starting Nastia in woodworking can be only good for her. I'm sure her sister will follow as soon as she is old enough.
And they will learn from one of the best, both in style and technique as well as safety.

Creeker Visits. They're the best.
Keep that second photo, Jim. Label it, back it up, and make sure you know where it is... Someday, somewhere, you're going to want to pull it out. Maybe at her wedding. Maybe to show grandkids. Maybe just to hold it out as a threat...Originally Posted by Jim Becker

Way to go dad!!! Nothing like those bonding moments... which might actually take on a whole new meaning when glue is involved
Jim,
Thanks for the wonderful post. She will always remember her shop time with you. You are a lucky man to have such a great daughter.

Very cool Jim. Looks like it was a great time in the shop! Now that child knows how to make faces!!

Go Dad and Daughter! Do keep the "all tongue" photo! I kept similar photos....it's fun to show such to their "prospective" spouses when they bring them home to meet Mom and Dad!

So much to learn, so little time.....
Folks, "tongue" photos are more of the rule rather than the exception with this girl, particularly when she's operating the camera on herself.
Thanks for the nice comments. It really was a good time, despite the fact that "I" didn't get to do much woodworking at all.

Well...we did try out the brad nailer for the "couches". Unfortunately, it was a bit too heavy for her. The pinner would have been better, but it doesn't have a safety nose and will shoot pins without being in contact with material. But yes, a bit more neander is certainly possible under these "conditions"...Originally Posted by Mark Stutz

Well, I tried to "quote" the middle pic in the second series, but it was not to be.

Jim,
Great fun just reading your post, let alone living it! Surreptitiously cutting the legs to length reminded me of Zuzu's pedals from "It's a Wonderful Life".
As far as the safety glasses go, I picked up a pair at HD that fit over Sam's glasses without a problem - and we added the strap in back so they don't slip down.
