Good for you. Don't let the kid with the paint can take control. Make
him take responsibility instead. If he learns nothing more than that
then it doesn't matter what he can or can't do with a piece of pine.

Same goes for the chick wi' attitude. When she takes some kickback from
the table saw, as inevitably she will, make sure she learns that nobody
believes her B.S. any more than the saw did.

You'll probably be able to write a book about your experiences after a
couple of years. It would be a great read.
