The super bowl night my son and grandsons came over to watch the game and I didn't want to watch it so I cabbed, well my grandson who will be 5 next week want to try so I let him. He pretty much just held it in one spot went back and forth between wheels it was kinda cute.. Also I made the hearts today and a small cab from a rock I found at my siters in California not sure what it is. Keegan trying to cab the two hearts I have to fix the one I am not happy with it and the unkn own looks almost like chrysocolla to me has alot of quarts

I am sure that was a lot of fun for both of you. That's a great material for the hearts too.

Ahhhh... Should I be wearing a mask and safety glasses? Also, what's the deal with the Makita catalog and Budweiser calendar(?) on the wall? Kind of racy for the little fella don't you think?

Great work, Tammy! I have the same problem with the hearts! I'm going to pull out the dremmel on the next ones, I think. Great to see your grandson at the wheels! Start 'em young!!! :-)

He is such a cutie and even if he doesn't get one done, it is the experience that counts and will stick in his mind! PPE Safety is a great way to start them out too! Think the hearts look great! Fran
