Colton's First "S" Hook!!


Recommended Posts

Colton is our 5yr old Grandson and we are getting to keep him for 3 weeks this summer! Granny flew out to ALBQ, NM this past Sunday and the 2 flew back on Monday. This evening he and I went out to the shop and this is what HE made. I held the piece but he did all the blower cranking and hammering! He was so excited to show it off to his Granny. Yea, this is one Proud PaPaw too. :D

Great looking boy. Thumb on top or on the side? Horn to the left or?

Thumb on side! never on top, horn to his left--easiest side for his little stool and worked the pig tail on near side of anvil then the hook off the horn---no jig, all free hand.

Colton you must be a good student. Thats is a great job. Not too many boys your age get to work with fire. Thomas keep him at it and I'll have a15# power hammer ready when he's 10. My grand daughters have a 70# NC anvil on an 8 inch tall stump. No viedo games for these kids. Thomas we are so blessed.
