Hello from a beginner
Hi guys and gals, I hope y’all are all doing well.
I’m looking forward to learning from the forum.
We inherited a small shop from my uncle. Now my 8yr-old son wants some tools for Christmas…
I don’t know what is the best way to help a youngster get started.
Best wishes,
P

Hi and welcome to the forum.
As to getting an 8 year old started get him a small saw. Tenon saw would be fine. A hammer and some nails. A few bits of boards to chop up too. The internet will have plenty wood projects kids can do as well. At age 6 my granddad gave me a saw, hammer and nails and I set about making big bits of wood into small bits then loaded them up with nails. Great fun. I did have a few bruised fingers and the odd bit of blood now and then too but I learned that tools can hurt you if you dont use them the right way.
Looking back at that has me wondering if my woodwork has improved all that much.
Regards
John
