The other night when Lou came back from Scouts, he presented this coat hanger to me made from a branch from a gum tree that had been varnished. I really love the natural look and I might be borrowing it to model some if my knitting projects in the future.
Not last Christmas but the Christmas before, Lou got this tool set with real little tools made of wood and metal (no plastic in this set). Lou is trying to make a wooden sword. He drew a pattern, clamped the wood to the table and used his saw to try cutting around the template that he drew.
And he has been sanding it smooth. It is still a work in process, but it is great seeing him designing and creating.

We have that same tool box and love it!
Wow Lou ! That really is a wonderful set of tools !
(love the little safety catches so the tools won't travel around in the box ;-) !)
I think you're going to be a real craftsman !!!
Go Lou! What a fantastic gift for a creative young person.
