I have two sons. One just turned teenager the younger, pre teen. I have a shop full of pretty serious wood working and construction equip. I am not sure what to do with this stuff. The way it looks, my kids will not have any interest in them, maybe a cordless drill or two and a couple pliers? Who knows? I am thinking about giving my business along with all the equip to one of my workman if he continues to behave. Again, who knows?
My dad was a custom jeweler. He made all his stuff with only hand tools along with a power drill and a polisher. I grew up sitting on his lap when he worked on this little bench and naturally ended up worked for him during high school and early part college. As I got older, I knew I had to horde them. Remembering each and ever tool and my father's hand using them to put food on the table was enough to keep them around. Hopefully I can teach my kids to use them one day. I find every excuse to exercise them. I cleaned up and polished my client's wedding ring and repaired her clasp on her bracelet two weeks ago. Made my day and her day as well.
