Table saw stand

Looks like you have a good little eager helper there :)

Adorable daughter and some fun time together. Good project.

Thats great when the little ones show interest, and I think the stand came out very nice. Be sure to tell her that from me. I have a little girl as well that just built a calmp stand with me, she’s just 7 and thinks the saw is too loud so I need to cut everything and then call her in for assembly and finish, but I will take what I can get.

-- Martin ....always count the number of fingers you have before, and after using the saw.

That is great time bonding with your daughter, I use to do that with my daughter teaching her to cook. Now I do it with my grand daughter.

Oh, ya, she’ll have no part of the saw. When the saw turns on, she is out the door until i’m done. She sure knows how to dress for the shop huh.

Father and daughter in the shop! What a joy it is.
My daugher and I have very clear memories of her at that age in my shop and I bet you and your beautiful daugher will too!
Woodworking, it brings wood together as well as family!

Great memories being made! My girls would glue and nail scraps together. And I would bet you’ve already been asked to make a “custom” cut on a scrap for her little personal project, huh?

A bit of advice from one dad to another…tell the princess to never hammer nails into trees! haha Otherwise, you’ll have a yard full of ‘em!

ha, ya, i’ve made a few asthetic cuts and random holes. Thats fine with me. eventually, those seemingly random cuts and holes will develop purposes, and the little cogs and wheels in her head will start to really turn. Just glad that I am blessed enough to be a part of something that she loves to do. I learned woodworking early on from my dad and grandpa. What I thought was just busy work when I was a kid, I now realize was a very special time for them and for me.

Very nice. What was your daughter able to do ? I have a 9 year old niece who is very curious about my tools but she hates the noise too.

She was holding pieces together while i drilled and screwed them together. She also made a pretty handy tape measure handler. Eventually while i was putting it together her mind wandered and she got started on her own project, which consisted of drawing pictures on a block of wood for mom.

That smile says it all, any time shared with your kids is special, and if they are also happy, you are way ahead
of the game. The stand is rather nice also. Thank you for sharing.

Hmm, cool hat, knack for working the wood, doesn’t like the power saw, looks great on camera? Move over Roy Underhill, I think you’ve met your match.
