They were sixth and seventh graders. The idea was that kids should work with "nature". It was held outdoors because at the time they had no shop room, benches, work surfaces, nothing. But, they did have chisels and gouges. My first day was insane.

I'm working with a 15 year old who has a real confidence problem with his physical abilities (no physical problems...just totally believes he is destined to be uncoordinated). I've known him since birth and watched him grow. About a year ago I started taking him into the work shop and trying to show him that he could work with tools rather than be afraid of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8128369950831173916.post-28102310484261098302010-04-14T10:09:01.395-04:002010-04-14T10:09:01.395-04:00Hi Kari,

I love that you put so much time and energy into making it special for these kids.<br /><br />As a Cub Scout leader I have lead many, many woodshop projects with my Scouts and I can say you have it just right, with one little correction: I keep a supply of kid sized safety glasses in my shop.

When I leave the shop I flip the breaker. If my son is in there with me its hand tool only time. So with the breaker off he can push all the buttons with no risk of powering up anything. Just have to be careful when I turn it back on.
