She seems to enjoy the challenge. I'm enjoying every minute of it!

Her mom didn't seem real pleased with all the sawdust on Riley's school clothes!  >:D


That's one of the perks of being a grandparent, you get to irritate your kids while you spoil theirs. A little payback >:D >:D >:D

Cool project I hope that my nieces will have a interest in doing something last me this when they're old enough  :D
And I'm very glad to see you have her using the saw safely  ;) I had a bad accident on a table saw myself so now I can be a tad bit of a safety nazi when teaching new people how to use one :o >:D

Good job gramps! She is learning SO much more than just building a bow.

Rylie builds her own bow . . . continued

Rylie and one of her friends, Taylor, came to the house after school. Mixed up a batch of Unibond.  Then spent bit of time together getting some of the gluing done on her bow. Annnnd, did some gluing on my bow too!
They made a good team and we got the laminations clamped down in no time.







And the lil ladies also found time for selfies.



Next time we will get back to wood shaping.

Results of their handiwork. Since it was forecast to get a bit cold last night, The Wife agreed to bringing glue-ups into house. I mean how could a loving Grandma refuse 2 adorable girls saying "P L E A S E, Grandmaaaaaa!"

Bunch of us are meeting at friend's pole barn tonight for bow-building gathering. Rylie is going with me. This should be interesting.   ;)   :-\   O:)
