So last week my son and I were discussing his next couple of years and him coming up with the money to buy, or help buy his first vehicle. We were discussing jobs and how to work around his school schedule, football,baseball, and soon to be Ag (I’m hoping he gets involved with FFA). Earlier this week he told me he wanted to try and do something on his own vs. flipping burgers or something similar. I told him to give it some thought and research and see what he could come up with. He decided he wanted to build things and came up with trying to build rustic wood burned flags. He came up with a list of materials and hit the box store yesterday. He had me in the garage early this morning to get started. Here’s where he’s at so far.
I put a jig together and showed him how it would speed things up for him when he started building more.
He did all the sanding, cutting, burning, and staining.
I hammered the razor blades in, and managed to cut myself twice😁
This is where we left it for today.
Tomorrow he’ll assemble and the start cutting the stars with the Dremel before finishing with 3 coats of clear.
Proud of his initiative and willingness to jump in with both feet!
