Calves are starting to come around as individuals and listening to the kids. So CJ and I broke away and I taught him how to use the sliding compound miter saw. He cut 15 2x4's to 41". I did not get any photos of that. Then my saw stop saw isn't here so to keep going I set up the planer and CJ, Jon and I created a flow of work and ran the 2x4's through until the radiused corners were removed. Then we got it clamped and they learned how to square up a rectangle. It is in the garage at the moment on sawhorses. Tomorrow we have 3 calves heads to shave and then doc should be here around noon or one o'clock. So we put it away for now and I am going to put a carving wheel on the 4" grinder and we are going to practice learning how to use it correctly. Will keep this updated with photos and storyline. CJ's birthday is July 3, so he has really become aware of Americana and it is a theme he has used through his wood working projects.
CJ learning how the planer works.
CJ feeding the planer, Jon catching the boards, me handing to CJ
CJ, now taller than Lou Ann, has a higher vertical reach than me. Growing to be a fine young man.
My paw after Jon and I traded places.
