63877 "David Sawyer" <dsawyer72@h...> 1999‑06‑11 SWMBO Involvement
While I was smoothing a rough cut walnut 2x6 last night with a #5, I brought
SWMBO down to show off the wood (sorry, I'm still a newbie and the only
woods I've worked with till now are pine and white oak, so new woods impress
me easily).  She was impressed with it and asked if she could try using the
plane.  I let her, and she enjoyed it.  Now what?  Do I encourage this?  I'm
worried because she might start noticing tools appearing in the work shop if
she spends time in it.  Although it could make the case for some tools
easier.  I like the arrangement the lady we bought the wood from had.  Her
husband built everything, and she finished everything.  I'm not big on
finishing, so this sounds like a good plan.  I was wondering how much others
get their SWMBOs involved in the work?
