Safety First

Silas found a kids woodworking book that was a present from Aunt Rachel last Christmas and decided it was high time he got some use out of the scrap wood in the basement. He looked through the book and decided he wanted to make an airplane. Since I couldn't really take him down to work on it by myself with Emmet, I told him we first had to draw out what we wanted to build. So he drew some rather abstract pictures of an airplane and a boat.
He was so stinkin' adorable and excited when Orrin got home. "Dad, Dad! I drew a plan. A plan for the scrap wood. We can cut and drill and hammer and make it just to the design. I drew this design on the paper so we can make an airplane that really flies!"
Somewhat fortunately for Orrin, Silas became distracted with playing with all the different tools and practicing with the various drills, saws, levels, hammers, tape measures, etc. that he didn't really ask that the design be adhered to strictly. In fact I don't think they even started on any part of it.
But they did make this:
And I love that he's wearing safety glasses and barefoot.
