[Esel Mann]

Definitely let your son come up with the ideas as well as do the work.

The roll of the dad for this exercise is to:

- be a sounding board to kick around ideas your son comes up with;

- supervise and show your son the proper way to use tools;

- ensure your son doesn't burn down the house or loose any fingers, arms, legs, toes, or eyes, (hearing is overrated so no worries about ears);

- show him where the nudie mags, beer, and tv are hidden in the shop;

- show him how looking busy in the shop versus watching sports on the living room couch will ward off females who constantly come up with things to do for males if they don't look busy to the female.
