Yup. Trust me, he will remember that kind of thing when he's grown. Now is the time to train him right :)

Now that I'm done bein crabby, I want to say it's GREAT that father and son are working together!! :thumbup: :) My daughter helps with handsanding sometimes, and yes she has her own safety goggles. Rock on, bro, us dads have a duty to spend creative time with our kids. Plus, it's fun! :)

By the way, I got a couple pairs of jeans that look just like yours :D

John, you're doing fine, I can see you're learning to spell from your father :p Did you have shoes on? ;) the world wants to know. :D The knife looks great and if you continue you'll quickly beat your father for customers.

Don't mock the ninja monkeys though, they can throw poop from Alabama to your neck of PA. :D

Barefoot kids can beat up ninja monkeys , especially with such a great handmade knife on hand .
 
Hard to use a knife when your eyes are covered in monkey poo ;)

I don't actually make knives, I crack a whip over an army of ninja monkeys and post on BF. PETA is outside covered in monkey poo, protesting my labor practices or lack thereof.
