I am trying not to let such long periods go by without an update. So the last couple of months I have been a bit laid up. I injured my elbow after a night terror and tore 3 small tears in my elbow along with another small tear to the cartilage and was told no woodworking for awhile and have to wear a fancy brace. Now I am light stuff cause I go batty not being able to do anything. with doc permission of course. So there is that but other that I have a young man I have been working with whose mother home schools. She asked if we could incorporate some woodworking for him. Teddy is seven and decided we should make a shield, a sword, and some amour. typical young man and neither of us have ever made these items. but to date with a little help and ingenuity from the teacher, we have made a shield and are currently working on finishing up the sword. I will see if he would mind us posting it. It is truly rewarding to have someone so excited to learn new things and excited about woodworking.

sorry to hear about you injuries..

get better sooner.... please..

Glad to hear you are on the mend!

 

Teaching is most satisfying.

Hang in there, Lissa, and stay strong. The Sun will shine again and you are making things better for Teddy.

Hoping you get better fast, Lissa.  Before Teddy graduates, teach him to sand. Good final exam.

Good to hear from you again Lissa. Sorry to hear of your injuries. Prayers for a full & rapid recovery.

Kudos and thanks to you for planting the woodworking seed in that young lad and having the patience to do so.

Only way they're gonna' learn today since trades classes are pretty much extinct.

Good to hear you are getting healed up.  Sounds like a lot of fun teaching the youngster.  

Glad you are healing properly

Great Post, Lissa and a great adventure you have taken on with Teddy.

Hoping for the best (health wise) and kudos on teaching the young man!
