OK Dave you have a fancy disk grinder. However, I have shop elves:

I caught them cleaning up.

RUG RATS!!!! Danger!!!! :eek:

Hey Steve, did you pick that LN tank up today?? I think you made a great buy on that one.
 
you had your eldest elf with you when you came to my table at BAKCA 2002. psssst! hey guys! i didn't see mother elf! but the cute youngster sure looked like a ITRADE clone to me!:D . i've got my irish terrieist doggie! she is great for giving the vagrants HE&*! that poke around in the alley, but i can't get her to clean up!;)
 
Wow! :eek: :eek: :eek: They are hard at work! :eek: :eek: :eek: What's the secret Steve?! Back when I had elves around here they had me going like that!!!

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Dave
 
HEHEHE!!! That is one cutie pic. My rugrats always leave my shop worst for the wear and they are 34 & 35.
 
Really cute elves, and hard working! It is more than my 4 elves wanted to do, except play and eat, and make messes. Now I have a new generation of elves here, but they just want to help grandma, and make messes. The older elves? They make messes and vanish, so I keep shop locked now. One of my shop machines is a 48" Delta wood lathe. You can imagine what kind of a mess a big elf can make!***********!
 
Whats with you people and your clean shops? I need shop elves!!!!:D
 
Will tools work when they're clean? :confused:

I call mine shop rats, my adorable 5yo decided to do some "stamping" on a piece of leather I had cut and glued the welt on, but she's so cutttteeee :mad: :rolleyes: :grumpy: she's also been known to attempt to do hand rub finishes, last week a nice drop point with a 1500x was rubbed nicely with a piece of 150x blue zirc. :barf: God love 'em though.
 
Thanks guys, they do have their cute moments. The shop was soooo dirty (the Vac broke) that it needed a detail clean. The 3 little ones really got into it.

Actually, Dave, I wish they were grandkids. I'm ready! My oldest is 21 and the little guy is 3. I really envy you guys with grandchildren! And IG, I hope when mine are 30 something they're still around playing in the shop.

BadBamaUmp, I went to your website(very nice BTW) and saw the 5 year old. Taking 150 to my 1500 blade would incure the wrath of dad alright. But she's a cutey.

We have a saying around our house:

God made children cute to increase their prospects for survival.

Never thought about it before, but the correlary would be, "The more self sufficient they become, the less cute they need to be." By 14 it's pretty much worn off.

Thanks for the compliments.

Yeah, Sarah is a cutie, mean as a snake and pigheaded to boot. Don't know where she came by that :rolleyes: Your chillens are cuties too. My 8yo daughter spends all of her time drawing and she stays out of the shop becuase it's dirty (she's a priss.)

I know that I was blessed with daughters because of my actions until I married the best lady on the planet. Heaven help suitors 'cause I know ALL the tricks, heck, I hold patents on half of 'em.
 
I wished mine were around more
I really don't mind the missing tools it gives me a reason
to clean and try to find them
off to collage do their thing.. :(
I can only wish they were that young again..:)

it is a site for sore eyes:)
 
My granddaughter is 24 - months. :D I don't think I'm gonna cut her loose in my shop just yet. She does like it down there though, it won't be long... :D

Steve, I need that training video when your done because I know I didn't see that section in the book you send. Great picture.

My dad aways said "kids were made cute so you didn't chuck them out the window".
:eek:
 
Jay,

I think I like your dad.

Dave,

The little one in the back, by the grinder - I'm not making this up - he really is cleaning up old egg yolk. We have a chicken that sneeks in a leave presents.

Steve, a rubber band gun works great for that problem. I had the same trouble 'till I put a door up in the new forge shop. With all the elves, you gotta have one lying around.
