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?

If they are creative and like to draw you might set them up making
freehand versions of the old summer-camp ashtray project, with
aluminum flashing, a hammer and a bag of sand. They could make chest
armor for an action figure, for example.
