That is totally awesome!  Had my eleven old with us this weekend.  We so rarely get to see him that the first few hours is spent just getting to know each other again... Did not do shop work this time.  It was so nice outside we wanted to enjoy it while it lasted.   So we shot the pellet rifle at spent spray paint cans and salvaged the marbles that were inside.   We had a good time.

That's awesome, each of them did a fantastic job, how much practice did they have with the saw beforehand? That's how I got started in woodworking over sixty years ago, I worked with Grand dad over fifty years ago. He used to build cedar strip canoes, and he needed someone short to work on the underneath the canoes. They were up on sawhorses, and me only being 12 at the time was just the right height

I let each of them start with a practice pattern and then set up for their chosen project.  The two older ones had used the saw previously and had a rudimentary understanding of the process.  This was the first attempt for the 7 year-old and I needed to do a little clean-up after he had done the cutting.
