The next generation of craftsmen

Billy, what an awesome story! The pictures are perfect. I can see that you poured into that beautiful child. The final picture tells it all. He is beaming with pride and accomplishment. He will remember that time with grandpa for the rest of his life and tell stories about it when he is older.

I like to say ‘well done’ when people show the product of their skill and talents. This time it’s a matter of the heart. Billy, well done.

Fantastic! I think there’s a ton that 4 year olds are capable of, from hammering nails, to simple hand saws, to (with assistance) well clamped pieces on stationary power tools like drill presses.

I’ve also had good luck with a battery powered drill and a pocket hole jig: A clamped work piece and the jig keep the bit contained, all they have to do is pull the trigger and keep the drill from spinning, and an extra hand for assistance can do that.

This weekend I ended up using the circle cutter to cut a few reinforcements for the mast step for our sailboat and I realized that I had enough circles that when the young lad from the neighbors (who said, when I dropped over to help ‘em with their irrigation system, “I don’t like that strange man at our house”) next comes by I can probably have the pieces for a tractor lying around that maybe he can assemble with nails and screws…

Thanks guys. I am blessed having my grandkids around, and them being interested in helping papa. This is something I live for; to see their smiles of joy in accomplishing something makes my day.

That’s awesome Billy! I have the Cub Scouts to my shop a couple times a year for projects and it’s a blast. The hour meeting usually goes into almost two hrs with the boys asking ?’s and wanting to “add” more to their projects.
It’s worth every minute. Of course my son, Evan, acts like the foreman because it “our” shop!..LOL

Billy, you have posted such a special story here with the Refurbers. I am grateful to you for sharing this part of your life with this community, the pictures (and the story) speak volumes about what is truly important in life. Thank you very much for this.

-- I found the board stretcher... finally!

BillyJ – those pictures are priceless!!! You’re making me jealous… I have a granddaughter, but I told her mom (my daughter) that when Bella is old enough, she’s going fishing with Grandpa, will learn to cut wood and make sawdust and other important stuff. My daughter, she is so sweet, said “Of course Daddy – I would love you to teach her what you know and do” – now all I need to do is wait until Bella is a bit older than three months old…. :-) tick-tock tick-tock… Grandpa’s waitin`

Thanks guys. My grandchildren do mean the world to me.

What a remarkable story. It always brings tears to my eyes seeing the blossoming relationship between a grandfather and his grandson. I hope you will have the opportunity to continuously nurture his interest in making things with his own two hands. I know you are already giving him safety talks, still just a friendly reminder to keep a very close eye on him. It made my heart skip a beat seeing him with what I consider as heavy machinery. All that aside, I look forward to see what else your grandson will be making in the future.
