I want to build a project with my 8 and 10 year old grandsons while they
spend the time with us. I want it to be one for each of them, and
something that would last. I want it to be useful, or decorative for
their room. They might only get to do some filing or bending, but
something that they could help build.

Suggestions?


Toy cannon? CD/DVD shelves? ...I would have said
bookends...but..those days are largely gone....

This may be of some help....

One of my favorites are steam engines that you can run from air...
