>That pic is worth framing. What a lucky young fellow he is to have the luxuary of learning at your elbow. Man, that is just Fantastic.

Do gotta wonder why you've let him use a POJ Stanley Handyman tho. Is this just until he can be trusted not to drop the good 'uns?

LN's won't break. ;~)

>He is as likely to hammer a nail with it as plane!

It's been flattened, and it's very sharp. No problem making sub .002 shavings out of it.

After a good litle backsaw for him next, I bought a saw, had it sharpened, but it turned out to be a push saw, and they put a VERY aggresive set on it. Cuts nice, but he could literaly take a figer off!
