Hey man, that's great! It's a dying trade anymore. Manufacturing is the key to our success in this country. Great to see you're keeping up the tradition.

Since I work just about every weekend and I'm a single dad I bring in my 7 year old daughter all the time. She's always asking questions and sometimes I don't get a lot done, but I always take the time to try to answer the best I can. Hope your son keeps up the interest!

I need some help with a headlight that keeps buring out. First I lose the low beam, then I flip to hi and 10 mis later thats dead.
My taillight is on the same circuit and is not affected when any of this happens.
any suggestions where to start?

Gypsy, the shirt Idea is a good one actually. Should get the point across well.

I gotta brag though , the boy is smart and has good common sense. They were milling a set of Dogbone risers and Sawsall showed him maybe twice... turn this handle.. unlock the table..turn this to here.. lock the table.. cut again... repeat.. he was doing it himself after that. Gotta love it.

Will E Ryder.. very cool pic. Look at how big that machine is in comparison. WOW.

My youngest is five, and she pretty much grew up in this building I figure the kids will either learn it and love it or hate everything about a shop. Hope they like it though, it does my heart good to see them take interest.
