Thanks for showing Stephen!  :thumbup:

Thanks for posting, always nice to see the next generation learning to use tools ( it's in the DNA  :thumbup:)    Just a suggestion, you might let the 3 yr old try a hacksaw on wood the fine teeth will make it easier for him and he can get both hands on it.

It's not the best saw, but I have a solution in mind. I'll post a picture when it is done.

Using a cut-off disc in a die grinder, I cut a new blade from a fine tooth hand saw. I also changed the blade retention from a couple of wood screws to a pair of threaded posts.

This posting is evoking lovely memories of some 30 odd years ago.
I boxed a junior hacksaw, small hammer, assorted nails and wood offcuts as one of my son's Christmas presents......  :D

He loved it! And still remembers.......  :thumbup:

Even though his practical skills now, are much less than they were then.........   :bang:

Defor.

Santa delivered a framed woodsaw (where the blade had been replaced with a fine teethed metal hacksaw), the usual set of tools (excluding the sharp edged ones), a hand made wooden mallet (the one that should be used on wood chisels, but ..) and

hear! hear!

   a battery powered screwdriver with drill chuck and bits!!

- "Pity he forgot including the bandsaw!"   :bugeye:

Chris, this is a bit off Stephen's topic, but you could buy your daughter this

to get her toolkit started.

Have to confess that I gave one to a lady friend whose age I it would be churlish to disclose, and she was delighted with it...
