My workmates kids pop over shop now and then and it always fascinates me watching how they work and think. As much as i tried to be accommodating having them less than 700 mm from where I was working gradually became apparent it wasn't to be. I thought the best way would be to shove........encourage them over to there dads bench so they could watch him working
Admittedly the lift things don't help much, they stop fingers being trapped when the legs fold away but aren't really man enough to lift the top on it's own liked I'd hoped. Highlight of the week was today watching one of them (Joe) cutting a handrail with a coping saw while the other (Tom) set to work on a piece of mdf with a hand drill. He had a glint in his eye when I passed him a 10.8 with a sharp twist bit attached
