Future AAW member and joy of mentoring

[Mark Hepburn]

Sorry this isn't about turning. Hope it isn't a rules violation.

Had my grandson over this morning and we made a couple of "monscer trucks". He's five and we spend a bit if time in the shop here and there. He hand sawed the axles, drilled all holes on the drill press, glued and assembled and then sprayed a shellac finish.

Of course he didn't handle any power tools unassisted. Anyway, he's proud of his cars and I'm uplifted by our time together. I told hi. I would put his picture "in the clouds". So here it is, Parker.

Thanks for looking.

That's a million dollar smile, if I've ever seen one! 😀

Thanks Odie. My eldest grandchild and little buddy. He's chomping at the bit to learn the big tools. All in good time. 🙂

That time is the best. You are making memories there!

Hi Doug. Yes, for both of us.

Until Alzheimer's kicks in and I start forgetting. But he won't 🙂 There's nothing like working in the shop with Parker, and I'm blessed that he looks forward to it too.

Have a great day!

Mark
