7. GETTING YOUR CHILDREN STARTED IN THE HOBBY OF WOODCRAFTING
March 06, 2013
Whether you're a mother, father, grandma, grandpa, aunt, uncle or teacher, if you have children around you, they have a natural inclination to build things. And to break things.

8. Woodworking Crafts And Your Children
March 02, 2013
Woodworking is a great hobby for the whole family since everyone can be involved in some part of it, even your children (call me old school, but I can't bring myself to call them "kids;" a kid is a baby goat, after all).
