mad4it 693 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 that looks a good knife you must be proud of him griff, If he keeps on making stuff he could end up a master craftman. Its good to see youngsters taking a interest in doing thing than being indoors playing with games consols. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its good to see youngsters taking a interest in doing thing than being indoors playing with games consols. Yes he is has a good range of skills beyond his years. He has lived in the shed with me since he could walk and i have always made sure the kids had there own space/ bench etc and supervision if they wanted to tackle a project. It has finally payed off and he is managing projects on his own now without me looking over his shoulder every step of the way. This knife is 100% his own with no input from me. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
socks 32,253 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I am absolutely disgusted that a child can have so much skill and I can barely whittle a stick into a net peg ... Good on him shame on me ...... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GruffaloGriff 1,851 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 My lad is doing a higher in design & manufacture at school. He designed this table on Inventor then made a scale mode mostly in the workshop at home. It is solid oak with mahogany edging. He steamed the edging to get the sharp bends, glued and wrapped in inner tube to hold it tight while the glue set. Photobucket not working, will get pics up later. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GruffaloGriff 1,851 Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 You just keep rubbing it in ... I truly am useless ...... Everyone has their strengths, me and my boy like making stuff and kind of have the knack. Plenty of stuff i am useless at too! Just enjoy what you are good at and have a go at what you aren't good at and you may get better if not enjoy trying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My daughter got some funny looks when her Monday morning news for check in at primary school was "I cut up a sheep with my dad at the weekend" Good for them to know where their meet comes from! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
