why dad always said shop time with us kids was better than lottery win.
got given some counterbores for capheads but were loose.
6yr old brother asked if we could make something today ( first time since loosing dad ).
told him he could help me make holder, so we set up the small drill press on a low stand, showed him how to set depth so it wouldnt drill all way through.
then got block of hardwood marked it out and drilled then put bits in.
he ran in to show mum and rang gran to tell her.
was great to see him smiling again.
often helped dad make things with younger ones or helped them on my own, but this felt totally different.
got massive buzz from it.
sorry to go on
will put pic later when i find my phone.
