He has a project to make a model castle for school (Grade 7) and decided he wanted to make it from wood. (Huzzah!)
Well, once the walls were being made of wood, he couldn't very well use cardboard tubes for the towers, could he?
So today he was introduced to a roughing gouge, a bedan, a skew, calipers, and wire on handles for burning marks. He made five damn fine castle towers, in my unbiased opinion.
He even got past his nervousness on the bandsaw and oscillating sander!

A. Happy Dad.
