Title: 5-year-old's idea for the riser block cutoffs
Post by: mlsthmpsn on March 30, 2018, 07:09:17 AM
If you guys have kids and grandkids, here's what my 5-year-old son said we needed to make with the cutoffs from the KennyM riser blocks.



Just nip off the tip from the big sweeping cut and fit onto the small cuttoffs from the belly-side fades... He said it needs a spoiler.

I'll probably do wooden wheels (cut from a dowel) on next one. It was nice cause he sat in the shop and helped me sand them down and picked the dye colors (pink & purple)... And got to see how dyes are mixed and blend to make the colors.

He does not have patience for the TruOil finish process! He's asked every day this week if we can put wheels on yet... He'll see this on the table when he comes downstairs when he wakes up this morning.

Nice!  It's great to get the kids involved in learning something hands on.

Great idea there.  I use some of mine as wedges when cutting firewood.  I don't mind buggering them up with the chainsaw either.
