Teaching my grand daughter the process of inlaying.

[Dave Monk]

We are blessed to have our 13 year old grand daughter spend a week with us. I am in heaven when she asks to spend time with me in my shop learning a new scrolling technique. She did just about everything herself on this Spiderman box. She is definitely a perfectionist.

I really envy you, Dave haveing a Grandchild around that wants to learn.. You are very lucky to have her as a student and she is very lucky to have you as a teacher... I know exactly where her being a perfectionist came from... Beautiful box she made.

Thanks for the kind words Paul. We have two grandsons that live within 30 minutes from us that could care less about my shop. Kylie has always liked me to help her make projects which totally delights me.

I didn't expect anything less from her. After all, she had a great teacher.

Nice Dave, I wish I was your Grandson living with you so I can learn the right way to do inlay. She doesn't know how lucky she is.

I’m with Ralph, he beat me to it, but I was going to say I wish I could come spend a week with you in your shop to learn from you Dave.  

Glad you and your granddaughter get to spend that quality time together. She will indeed treasure those items you and she create as well as the memories themselves and will take those skills with her throughout her life. she did an excellent job on her spidy box..

Wood = $10

Scroll saw = $950

Shop time with Granddaughter = PRICELESS!

You are truly blessed to share time with your granddaughter. She did an awesome job. Just waiting a few more years to hopefully have my grandson in the shop.  He is only 4 right now.

She has the face of a great scroller on the first pic - look at that Concentration
The second pic pic says it all - Very lucky and talented girl - hope she keeps it up
