Popular Post MisterDrow Posted July 23, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 My 9-Year-Old made this to submit for the Woodworking Exhibit at the county fair. He had a little bit of help with some dangerous cuts and the epoxy for the arms and legs but he did everything else on his own with some guidance. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..Kev Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Cool stuff! Hope he does well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Help is fine as long as he had to do all the sanding, just like my father did to me ! If he is interested show him my "about me " page on my website. I got started around his age. I hope he does well at the fair . http://steveduncan.com/about.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterDrow Posted July 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 He did the sanding and the drill press and a few cuts on the scroll saw with a guide... I did some bigger cuts on the table saw to start things out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prov163 Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 MisterDrow, that's really cool. Once kids learn they can make things and adults encourage them, they will begin to believe they can do anything. Good job, Dad! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MisterDrow Posted July 25, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 I showed my son your responses and some of the work displayed on this forum. He beamed brightly and said, "These guys like what I made, too? That's so cool!" Unbeknownst to me, he then went to the computer and looked up other ideas of what to make and presented them to me about an hour later. Thanks for helping inspire the next generation, fellas. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterDrow Posted July 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2016 Got to see the results of the judging last night... can't get up close to get a picture until the fair officially starts. My son's robot got 2nd place in Kids 8-10 Woodcrafts. He's pretty psyched! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
