I do worry though as he becomes comfortable with different tools, he will eventually want to try and experiment on his own. I have made a decision to expose and introduce him to these experiences early on in the hope of planting the seed for curiosity and establishing a foundation of fundamental skills and understanding of how things are created.
It is so much fun to see the wheels turn as he experiments with them. I have had him out in the workshop trying out some of the tools.spokeshaves, hand planes, drill press, clamps and vises, and some other hand tools that I deem safe under direct supervision.
