This video is an example of what is right with the internet. It is easy to find negative things to focus on, but positive is better for all involved. Thanks for the good work.
Thanks stumpy Nubs, my grandson always wants to help me in my shop you have just given me the perfect project to make with him, he will be so impressed he gets to use the tools he watches me use when he is over.
Stumpy:
I have had all three granddaughters doing the same project you have shown in this video. I have also build all of them a piece of furniture and they helped build them. My son and daughter are good at woodworking because they were always in the shop. The best place for me to watch them when my wife was gone. Very good shop Stumpy.
I'm watching this woodworking video with my son on my phone.
The hairy giggler brings old time woodworking through modern tech. So wise...so very wise is he.
well played
What a gem of a video every woodworker should see. And the humor is great. Thanks
So fun! He looks so proud after it's finished. Good job Dad!
James I'm almost speechless. Way to go. Thanks.
it's rare I comment on CZcams videos but I'd like to thank you for this one, 37 years ago I made a box of this design in woodwork class at school in the UK. 12 years old, first box, and I still love woodworking today. I hope your efforts have as much success.
Do you still have the box?
This is close to my heart. I spent 20 years of my life working with and helping kids learn all kinds of really neat projects. Thanks for this episode. If more people would just take 1 child and teach them like this. Imagine how wonderful this world would be in 10 years from now.
Well done James! Did the same thing with both daughter and son many years ago. Both are now well seasoned DIY'ers not afraid to attack just about anything. Not only wood working but also auto maintenance and the like. Daughter (network security specialist) is also a pretty good plumber. Son (analytical chemist) can make and/or fix most things. Wish my grandchildren were a lot closer so it could have happened more frequently for that generation.
I agree with Mr. McArthur, WELL DONE! And getting a kid involved in making a simple pencil box like that is a great project!
Good job, Stumpy....kid looked genuinely proud of his awesome box!
Beat you to it James, I have my 13 year old son in the shop helping with designs because I do not do boring furniture builds, great to see another young man getting into the shop, even if it is to photobomb every chance he could get lol.
Another informative (and humorous) video.
My father was a woodworker who built his first shop when I was four. I spent the next 8 years as his human clamp, but I nevertheless caught his enthusiasm for making things out of wood. By comparison, my junior high school shop teacher’s attitude caused me to take up the clarinet. But in the end, Dad won out. The clarinet is in the attic and I have a woodworking shop in the basement that my father would envy.
Dad stressed safety. I was not allowed to use power tools, but as your video suggests, kids are just as happy with hand tools. He bought me a Handy Andy Tool Kit when I was five, but wisely removed the chisel (this was in the 1950s before product liability became a big money earner for lawyers). Safety glasses were mandatory, but dust protection was not (once again, this was in the 1950s). I now use all the proper protection, but I have to say that a good whiff of sawdust still brings back better memories than my first hit off a bong.
Great motivational message for parents, along with excellent humor. Approved.
I'll agree with that.. Get the kids in the workshop. Nice wood BTW, I love spalted wood and make lots of boxes out of it. Thanks James.
This video deserve a very respectable applause very nice to see this with a youngster learning a trade well done stumpy 👏👏👏 it would be great if lots more people show much more or this in all kinds of trade thanks for sharing 👍
I enjoy your videos, especially when you inject a little humor like on this one. Thanks for the chuckles Stumpy!
As someone on the downhill side of life, I'll say that everything Stumpy Nubs says here is true. The heart is happiest when the hands and mind are working together. Hands down my favorite episode.
as the son of a retired vocational arts teacher it is now up to me to show my grandkids that building and fixing things is rewarding even though our educational experts kill personal skills in the school systems. the kids do want to learn if someone will take the time with them.
Very well done

Awesome topic Stumpy! You nailed it! If every woodworker did this we might be able to save a 1/3 of the generation! I have done this with my grandsons and a couple of granddaughters and some of the neighborhood kids, with parents approval.
Makes you feel great when you see the joy in their eyes doesn`t it
My six year old loves to tinker when I'm in the shop. It's amazing what a hammer, some nails, and a mess of scrap wood can turn into.
Awesome video James!! It is always great to see children interested in something other than electronics. I look forward to the day my grandson is old enough to be in the shop with me making sawdust, he is 22 months so I have a bit of a wait.
The box came out awesome ! Great job ! GRAIN pop ! Beautiful.
Thank you for this, we need more dovetails than tweets in this world (and yes I recognize the irony of writing this comment from my phone on CZcams). The problem solving skills I learned in the shop from my Dad and Grandfather are the most valuable asset I have today.
ahhh. I can hear my shop teacher now..."stop fiddling with the vise son"... brings back great memories and yet terrifies me at the same time. You are the man Stumpy. great video.
Thanks. Excellent video. There is one high school close by that still teaches woodworking which makes me feel good that not all is lost.
Very nice video James. Thanks for sharing it for us to watch with our grandkids...
Many times I look in woodwokers channels to see projects to do with the kids with little success.
Would be great to have more of these!
So much wisdom, first time I’ve seen this vid James and you outdo yourself yet again, thank you
Good work, kid!
You may have changed his life Stumpy!
I'm Tyvole, and I approve this message.
GREAT JOB my grandson Aiden (4 months old ) will be learning this in a very little while
Great video. I really like getting my son involved in my projects.
Thank you for making this. As a new father of a couple of foster boys, I want to share my love of woodworking, but have definitely been hesitant due to not having a good starting point. I can't wait to try this on Saturday!
Loved the video sir. You focused on some very important tips. Keeping it constantly engaging, fun, and rewarding.
James that is great! I have several grand kids I want to do this with :-)
Brilliant and funny video. My 8 year old loves working in the workshop with me but I also struggle with the balance of letting him do too much and screwing up or me doing too much and him getting bored. Thank you for the great project idea. Cheers, Gary
Same struggle with my 13 year old. I solved it by letting him come up with the project so even when he was not making some of the cuts he was still invested in the finished project. We made a sword from one of his favorite anime's that he watches online which only helped in bringing that virtual world into reality.
Give the child cheap timber, stuff what people throw away, pallet timber. A simple box, if they stuff up say no problem start again, stuff up again no problem etc let them learn. Many mistakes may happen, don't scold the child show them the mistake and go again. A child is using grown up tools on benches not there height. Add a new tool to the projects slowly, Don't give them power tools, hand only, why you may ask to build up eye to hand coordination.
I can't wait to build things with my daughter and son. I want them to learn old school techniques that are slowly being lost.
Well done James! This is a great and funny video! Keep up the good work.
Loved the video. I'll second the opinion that kids love sanding. Works out great for me! Thanks for the project idea; I struggle to find kid-friendly projects and my kids want to start out building scale replicas of the Titanic if I let them come up with a project.
Well done!! Cheers. Mauro
Well done! Very ,very nice!
This is awesome! i will try this with my kids soon !
I don't think you have enough planes. This is a great idea, I love it, have done this, I still not sure which of us had more fun.
Thanks stumpy! Great job!
Spot on with the social commentry _ Cant even find an Adult WW class in the SE of the UK to hone my skills - Oh well , now where did i put that IPad!
Keep up the great work -I've learnt so much from your channel as well as being jogged on earlier schoolday WW lessons that Ive got round to putting a workshop together. Tuition which is informative with the right amount of dry humour always keeps em coming back so thank you for the tips and advice.
Martin Powell go to college! Costs a fair bit but great way to try other people's tools and make some early mistakes with other people's materials 😉
I was looking for the same. It seems the wood-turners are under every rock I peek under, but trying to find a club or workshop on anything that doesn't spin seems to be a futile effort. Anything in Surrey/Hampshire area would do, I'm not being particularly geographically fussy!
Mark Hanford a bit different for me because I'm changing career but I just did a 7 month diploma in site carpentry and am now looking for a job. Expensive just for a hobby but I should make my fee back in 6 months
Had my eldest in the workshop today (age 5) to get him off Minecraft! We were making a Christmas tree tea light holder for his Aunt for a gift. Cracking idea about using a manual mitre saw rather than power tools; I have an old rusty one which has now just jumped up the restoration queue.
Big APPLAUSE from a retired HS Woodworking Teacher...
Spot on James
Nice video and a safe project. Tks
well done & fun. thanks for the video.
Thanks for all the reminders, so I included forget at times that they don't know everything we do
Keep the great work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice video James. A very thoughtful and well put together commentary om helping the kids along in their journey.
Thanks James! This was one of your most valuable videos to date! Loved it. Though we still have shop classes in Sweden I do find that kids today need to learn more craft to be more "handy".
There's not much better than getting the kids in the shop making stuff!
Fantastic video
Love this gr8 job .
Nice video as always.
Kids love sanding? Dammit, looks like mine are defective... :)
Great video!
time to make another one! :-) I love Stumpy!
That was great!!!
Very cool stuff
Very nicely done! Better to learn a craft now than in a prison shop later In life!
Great video!! Very funny!!
aaaaaahahahahahahaha, laugh out loud funny intro 🤣🤣🤣 brilliant. Thanks for this, funny and instructional
My 8 year old is desperate to build a work bench and start crafting things in wood. 1 week until the summer break and we can get started. Don't think we will see much of his mum this summer (unless she wants a bench too).😊
great video
"Cut your losses and make another one" caused me to spit out a mouth full of Diet Coke! Great video, James. Scott
Enjoyed this video, not sure where you got a giant cast iron miter saw, but looked like it was worth keeping just for this occasion
Exactly. I agree in 100%.
Cute little boy mines only 2 and he wants to help me make things I can't wait until he's old enough to actually help mum make things
Another great video. This is off topic but, I was wondering if you could do a series of videos on making a bench-top Moxon vice. They seem to be all the rage of late.
I wish I'd have been more assertive about introducing the shop to my sons. They showed little interest in anything I was doing in there, short of a finished product, so I didn't push it. Also, I made it clear that power tools in there were dangerous and they needed to stay away when I wasn't with them. I wish I'd have gone about it in this fashion when they were little. Nice video.
What a great video. Kidnap a kid and put him to work in your shop? LOL. Just kidding, I believe we need to teach them everything we can about working with their hands. Thanks for sharing this moment with us.
I have had the same problems with my sons too, They are now 25 & 35.. Of course they want to make things BUT aren't really interested in what it takes to make something, My oldest has that "DARN" phone in his hands 24/7 & my other son is always playing guitar = Next plan to make an electric guitar from scratch.. I don't even own a cell phone, I WAS a maintenance tech & after having that cell ruin my life = being ON CALL 24/7/365 I couldn't do anything without it ruining my existence..
Also I have that same old Stanley miter box & saw & never knew it had a depth stop?? Gotta go out to the wood shed & have a look when the sun comes up before I go pick my youngest up from work.. I'm 51 & retired, own my own home & owe nobody anything except for those pesky house taxes & utilities that all but drain me after everything else, like eating etc.
Thanks James!! Gary/Hk
he seemed proud of his work maybe one thing that might help kids because of their to short to reach the the bench find a platform for them makes their life easier and to accomplish certain tasks with ease
Either a platform to raise them up or a basic bench that is their height - if you make the ends right your can make them so you can flip them to raise or lower the height of the top to suit them (and you can use it as a bench seat when you want a rest too)
Yes! Best video yet, teach our young how to build, if they cut them selfs once they won't do it twice and a cool scar ain't so bad is it.
Great video. Most of trouble kids(may be 90% ) come from broken down families with no positive male figure in their lives. Hell some times my be mother don't know who is the kids father !!??.You showed us in this video solution to a major problem in our society. Basically it is our responsibility to MAN UP and take control of our youngsters ( male or femail ) future which is also is future of our country.
Yep, good one
I have a Jorgensen version of that miter saw
I hope to meet George Benson someday.
good job if you can keep them involved enough you might just grow a woodworker.
what species of wood are the sides made from?
Spalted maple
Where'd you get that hold down for the dog hole?
Sjobergs amzn.to/2vMiQPA
This is a GREAT video and a GREAT idea. But I can't for the life of me understand how any "human" can hit the dislike button. Idiots.
I tried something similar with my nephew years ago when he was about 6. Granted at that age all I could do was have him manually sand the pieces of the project and I lost him as he saw the neighborhood kids running around and playing. Now he is close to entering high school and I fear he is too far gone.
Great video. Sadly my daughter only loves horses ;-)
How 'bout a saddle or seat on a saw horse? Add a head to hold a flat "desk top" to hod an iPad, lap top, or maybe even a book! Other embellishments are optional. Of course, it all depends on the age of your daughter.
She is 12 and until now not really keen on woodworking. Maybe I should build a saddle rack or so ;-)
Lots of woodworking projects that go along with a love for horses. Tack chest, saddle rack, picture frame for a picture of her horse, etc.
I remember my first time using power tools. i was like 10, lol.
I remember the first time I ever used a band saw, in the end, my project turned out GREAT!! You know, I really don't miss the tip of my thumb I lost, you learn to adapt!!
so i'm guessing have all the parts milled up and to general dims before
Yes
It’s funny that you mention sanding as safe. I made the mistake of giving my six year old the random orbital not considering that his eye level was bench height he flipped it on and got grit thrown in his eye. Six months later he still won’t touch the thing even with his face shield on.
Tools are only as safe as the PPE we wear.
When my youngest granddaughter was 5, she would vacuum my shop for $1.00. She dragged that 4 inch hose all over my 24 x 30ft shop.
I expected to see Chip in the video for some reason.
how many kids do have try working 60 hours a day
I know thanks time 4 bed
that's the problem with the world today. Good people are too busy in their workshops, bad people are making the rules.
personally i prefer my kids medium rare
If anyone needs a kid or two, I've got some for rent. Make me an offer!! Lol
I feel like I should get more credit for NOT killing my children. Sometimes those mushy brains of theirs need a bigger hammer too.
goto line 666 for Puritan rage.
