We wanted to show the boys how they can make furniture from trees and stuff that are readily available. So the kids put this table together (after I pre cut and pre drilled all the pieces). Next we will make the chess pieces out of nuts and bolts. Is a really fun project.  |

Very good investment, and a very cool project.  I used to make a "stove eye" as a kid when camping to hold a pot or skillet off the fire while cooking a meal out of green tree limbs. |

Boy Scouts was a big part of my earlier youth, in part where I learned to be a decent person and also be resourceful and help to look after myself. Learned a lot from some great volunteers...just like you and your wife here. Good on you |

It is very rewarding to see their little"lights" turn on when they finally get something I remember this one time fondly when I was leading. we were supposed to be doing this bird house project, then tying them up in a tree. I tied a rope to mine and all of a sudden they wanted to learn how to tie knots. we never did start to make a bird house that day, spent then next hr and a half tying different knots. lol. |

Yeah we spend lots of hours trying to teach the boys how to tie knots. Some like it some seem to not like it so much |
