  • Working with your kids in the shop is a rewarding and overall beneficial experience. This video gives you some tips about how to involve your kids in projects in a productive way, as we build this Mother’s day gift. It’s a simple key hanging thing with walnut “MOM” letters, but it could be anything - The more important lesson is spending time with the kids in the workshop, teaching them things about building and using psychology to get over their fears while the workshop.

    About Stillworks
    I make videos of my daily shop life and all the crazy things I’m working on. That could be project builds, woodworking skits, more introspective stuff, and educational videos. Think of my woodworking as exactly what you do: Not specializing in one thing, rather cranking out whatever comes to mind, regardless of genre. Thanks for watching!

    I hated when our shop teacher made us sweep up the shop--it's a SHOP! And now, I put my tools all in their place as I work, and vacuum and sweep even more often than he made us. I think of Mr. Jobes often when I do that. Thank you for doing what you're doing--even those super-small things--it's important.

    Well there's the second video someone else has beaten me to. 😫
    In all seriousness....
    Our little niche of the UA-cam world needs more of this. Shop time with kids is sacred and will reap so many benefits later in life.

      Well put. And I’d say plenty of material still to be had in the kid/making realm. Excited to integrate your ideas.

    Awesome. Loved the McDonald’s in the pickup bed. An old blanket or rug would be great back there. Something that you can stick behind seats.

    The number of people I see working with long hair near rotating machinery is terrifying. When it goes wrong, it goes REALLY wrong

    I get the feeling the wife 'who would destroy you' if they got hurt, is probably more touched by the video of you making with them, than the project (or any) you made in it
