A couple of small projects with/for my 7 YO granddaughter. First is a couple of turtles (her favorite animal) and then a Gorilla that she found the pieces for as she was exploring the shop when we were working on the turtle. Both designs come a from a Toy Book that I bought back in the late 80's from David Wakefield.

Cherish every moment
I do cherish every moment. Best thing from last year was her hammering stakes into the ground after she laid out where the clips would go on the stakes - “I love woodworking with you Grandpa!”. Doesn’t get much better than that.
Let’s see how this works.
This is a Bluebird nesting box built for Mrs G to use in a raffle for one of her club events in February.
I built 2 and hung one in the backyard.
They’re made from Florida Cypress—some with wane, some with natural edge.

Finally, after all these years of having to sift through a pile of sanding sheet boxes, they are all together and the pile of boxes get to help out the woodstove fire.
Also a place on top for the most used sanding blocks.
And room for my sheet cutter in the bottom slot. That may not stay there as I might hang it on the cabinet side.
A little paint later on to cover up the mixed of used cutoffs.
