I'll second that. My ten-year-old daughter loves to spend time with me,
even though I unfortunately don't have my workroom set up for her to
help. She never seems to tire, however, of grabbing my brush and pan and
sweeping the floor.

My five-year-old son, on the other hand, want to make holes in wood with
the brace, which means that dad doesn't get anything else done for the
duration, since he can't handle a brace solo yet (all I have are a pair
of 10-inchers). That and that the only usable work surface in my shop is
a Workmutt, which isn't quite big enough for two...

You go, Jeff!
