Popular Post prov163 Posted July 23, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 23, 2018 My new apprentice began today. First thing I taught him was the Mike Pekovich blue tape trick for laying out mortises (which works great by the way). Not sure if Mike will appreciate my grandson’s interpretation, but he’s in the shop. He says it’s an airplane. Fine by me. He seems to really enjoy making things and I’m going to encourage that every time I get the opportunity. At the bench, working out some design issues. He’s just like grandpa, has a running conversation with himself in the shop. After three coats of Summer allergies snot, it’s ready to go. Pass your love of craft on. The next Krenov may be lurking at your bench. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chet Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 That is real cool. Overtime I see a picture here of someone with kids in the shop it reminds me of days with my dad and now days with my grand kids. It's the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny4 Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 Good work. My dad would always let me come in and drill holes on the drill press. I loved it. He gave me a drill press when I first set up shop, and the first thing I did was drill holes in a 2x4 to put my pencils in. It was like finding your childhood toys....waves of nostalgia.
