Kids should be seen, not heard.


One way to put this idea into effect is to put them to work. I've set up a little sweatshop at my place staffed by my kids making round metal parts with threaded holes in them.

Actually Madi is drilling and tapping a backing plate for a new lathe chuck that's going on the Sheldon Lathe. Matthew really wanted to help, but even on the step stool he's just not big enough to work the levers.
