He watches intently while I work and has picked up a couple of tips. I do have to build him a higher bench though and buy the way that carpet won;t need any sanding after tonight.

>Hi Bill,
that was the best shot. The other shots have him just planing using his hand on the rear tote.
Here is a shot of the plane which came as part of a fisher price tool box kit we bought at a garage sale. He also got a chisel as part of the set but doesn't seem to play with it much
