Robert,
This fits:

But now I am 6
I'm as clever as clever
I think I'll be 6
For ever and ever.

(A. A. Milne)

Hey Robert, Hope you are putting aside your cut offs and tools you never
use for your nephew. He is a natural born woodturner. Perhaps he was a
little too taken up with cleanliness as a baby, but he'll lose that with
age.

You bet I save the stuff for him. He just turned 6, and about 6-8
months ago we built him an old fashioned tool tote together. He loved
the whole experience.

I bought him a 7 oz hammer (with parental permission), a 16' tape, a
big bright orange speed square, some goggles, and a stainless steel mug
for his ice water like I drink my coffee from every morning. To top it
off I got him a screw driver with a big orange handle and a big pink
carpenter's pencil from Owens Corning so he would have stuff to put in
his bag. A couple of nails and some screws and he thought he had been
doing it for years.

We both had a blast. He got glue all over himself, lots of sawdust,
and when we weren't sawing or drilling he wore his goggles on his head
like a real pro. He is now sure that we need to build a house
together. Not a dog house or bird house, a house.

Gawd. To be six years old is a wonderful thing.
