Children in the workshop: Make yourself a knife

[dimovengraving]

Simona and Alexander now no living in my town, but every summer they come to their grandmother's for a few weeks and take an intensive (daily) course in my studio.

What have we not done? This year, the project is ambitious - making a knife.

Nobody want to give a prognose what and whether it will work out.
I will give the story day by day and hope for a happy end


Day 1

Who's my knife?

Day 2

We continue
Steel T5MOS

If I write it that they did everything, I will not be honest.
First meeting with belt and angle grinders. Wow, that's a serious thing

Evgeni,Good to see your children are taking up working in your shop with you to guiding them making knifes,wood carving,engraving. J.J.

Evgeni is the red nail polish an essential tool in the process? Ha, Ha!

 

[Doctorslava]

Her skinner looks better, so the red nail polish helps!

 

[papart1]

very cool

 

[monk]

you deserve much praise for giving youngsters something to do. all too many young people know very little beyond their cellphones.

 

[dimovengraving]

Thanks all for the comments
I think the red nail polish will be an important focus and actor in this story

Day 3

Choosing a wood and roughly shaping the handles

Wonderful, Evgeni! These youngsters will remember this all their lives and pass it on to their own children! Outstanding!

Children in the workshop ! What I say to my daughter, it is about making memories. She has them from her grandfather. i hope to give the same to my grandchildren. They are still young so art and paper items are our chosen projects.
Look like great kids, and talented.
