In an attempt to put some cheer into this thread, I used to be an Imagineering Tutor - after school for 10-11 year olds. It was always oversubscribed because the children learned to build model aeroplanes, Morse code buzzers, single transistor radios (with earbuds!). Have a look at their website :-https://imagineering.org.uk/clubs/informationThe story I have to tell was told by an amazed father at one parent's evening. His little girl was" helping" him with some DIY project and he asked her to hand him a screwdriver. She replied "Do you want it for a crosshead or a slotted screw?"It is real surprising how much information young minds can absorb but you have to spend the time with them.Ian
Great Dave!!! You got through to him. I had an email from a former advisee this morning ( the school email is still active) wondering why he has a hold and can't register for classes which begin next monday . As I recall he never finalized a plan for my approval last spring. He also missed/ignored the email back in May noting my retirement and assigning him a new advisor. .Some you get through to, some just never get it. If I had had one I would have emailed him back an application for Mc Donald's. Bill
I overheard two nurses in scrubs walking down the hall when one said "My husband called and asked if I had seen his stink bait bucket".
Dave first impression is WOW just Wow. But thinking about the situation I have a couple questions and a comment. Was the proper work surface available in the shop . a large lead block ?? A piece of end grain wood a piece of tree stump. or at least a sheet of heavy plywood? And the other thing that comes to mind IIRC leather is often tooled on a granite or marble surface. So a casual exposier to leather working could have caused this confusion especial if an appropriate surface was not readily available. I am not trying to make any excuses here. But maybe offering an alternate perspective. Proper supervision and training go a long way . one can not assume anything. with the inexperienced. And yes you handled the situation well. If I send someone to my hammer drawer there are at least 10 choices. I need to remember that.
