David came by this morning with his dad, my friend, Mark. David is on Spring break and he was here this morning, and he stayed all day. Look at what he made his first day! Oh, David is 10 years old.

Looks like he's got a GREAT head start! Is that a trivet? Very nice.

-Andrew

That is a trivet. 1 circle,3 scrolls,6 spacers,6 collars.

That's pretty cool. I think David has completely shown me up! LOL.:)

Super job!! I love seeing young folks get an interest in the craft!
Finnr

What a SMILE!

I live for those kinds of days, being able to put a smile like that on a kid is special all round.

Great job Brian.

Frosty

Wow, Now that's a great start for a one day thing. Cool Kid.
Mark

Thats awesome, Thanks for sharing with us.. Yea that smile told the story..

ahhhh, you brightened my morning with that, thanks.

Those pictures are evidence of an excellent teacher.

Looks like someone had a fine old time!
What a pleasure to see!!
Thanks for shairing Brian!

Here's what David did this morning. He did all the striking and did a very good job at it. We started with 1 1/4"x 1/4" just like is shown in the picture. He had to move a bit of steel.
He also brought his hammers and his dad's hammer that we helped his dad make last year.
He made and designed the cross for his mom.

God bless kids. He seems to be having the time of his life! Gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling inside to know they are happy.:)

That kid has some skill

You better watch out- Looks like future competition!

I love it! That lad has skill and the drive to make good use of it!

David is doing a great job! It's easy to see he both enjoys and appreciates the opportunity he has been given. Brian you are doing a great job as well

Dick

Thank you, guys. I think I get more out of these opportunities than David. I love it, but I love sharing it with someone that's interested, more. I could see David get better every time he tried, and he could see it, too. You could hear it!

Well done!! Keep it up! The smile outshines the great work! gotta love that!!
