.... my 11 year old today. It must be in the genes

 

[Jim]

It is a great age to start Rob ... Don't worry about the cost ..

Nice one Rob. Good to see a young un at the lathe! My youngest is only 3 and I can't get him out of my shed.

 

[Woody]

Now that is great I love it when my grandchildren come over and want to have a go

 

[Grump]

Really good to see, I am working on the grandchildren.
They have fits and starts none have taken it up seriously yet but in time they might.

 

[Doug]

It's great to start them young, they have no fear, both of my lads turned before the lure of Playstation became too great seemingly when they started secondary school.

Its nice to have an interest that you share with your son so that he can share the cost... What?... Oh!

 

[Matt]

Just think of the excuse you will have to buy loads more kit

Well done Rob, great age to get him started.

 

[bassethound]

Glad to see it, bet he loves making shavings!

 

[yorkshireman]

Lovely photo Robert. Good to see him picking up safety habits as well.

 

[Robert]

Got him to make me a handle for an old chisel. From beech. Not bad for a first job

 

[Grump]

Brilliant, there are many turners who can't make handles as nice as that including me init?

 

[donwatson]

Great job, well done that lad

[Dalboy]

Great to see. I think it is a fantastic feeling when they take an interest and want to have a go.

 

[chas_41_uk]

Blimey that's excellent for a first attempt

 

[wm460]
