Not Leatherwork but Leatherworking....

Very cool Spider. mine waxes and wanes on the leather so far. I won't push, but I hope he takes to it like your little guy. as far as staying inside the lines, well what can I say? the lil acorn doesn't fall far from the tree does it? (wink).(thinking outside the box that is)

 Damn Homes,

You have a table to work on. You're stylin! Me on the other hand have a makeshift set up in my bedroom. I found out a long time ago that I could insert a 18"x!8" piece of old countertop between the top of the drawer in dresser bureau and the underside of my of the top. Works great!  On the other hand I would die to get a good solid bench with an inset slab of Granite maybe 2'x6'.  I would die to have Ann and Al Stohlmans old workshop from Canada. But then wouldn't we all. HA! Give the little guy time. He will be able to get the skulls down! Probably better than both of us.

They grow up so fast that you have to take these moments and cherish them. Great pic of the 2 of you.

nice looking boy you got there. I love it when my son comes in and sits with me. Though lately I have been pressed to get some customer work done, so I have had to shoo him out. Maybe I will make it up to him this weekend and do a project with him. Maybe something with a spider in it... hmmmmm.

That's funny. It reminded me of my 4 year old daughter the other day, i was laying something out, and she pulled up a chair to help. I ended up holding the stamp or whatever it was i had and she got to swing the 2 lb maul, it only took about two good hits to the hand before i found something else for her to do.

Yeah BABY!!!! I LOVE IT!!! Just like when others share they're kids work. Or when Leathercat shows her stuff and we know Roo is responsible. Just plain awesome.

Yeah rsg3, I've tried the holding the tool for him but it defeats the purpose of sitting him by me. To let me work too. Not to mention it does hurt after a while.

Spider

That's about the age I started "Helping" Dad, In the Shop. He had a pc of rubber on a steel bench where he worked on boots. It was about 1/4" thick and I used to pound nails and clinch them on the steel. Then it would take him hours to pull them out. I still work with him about 2 hours every day after my "other job", 28 yrs later. He doesn't let me pound nails in his bench anymore though!!

Spider, that's awesome! What a great way to spend time with someone you love, and doing something you love too!
