My 4 year old Son and I made a simple boat. It gave us both the opportunity to learn new skills. We drew a basic Boat shape on a piece of Reclaimed Wood and fixed a dowel into it. A piece of Paper was used to make a sail.
The project gave my son the chance to experience how different tools work. We usually always begin with a talk about safety. I set the drill on a slow speed to make sure their was no chance of chips hitting us as we needed to buy new safety glasses due to breaking the last pair. I have many years experience and trust my judgment, but I advise always to make sure that children were eye protection.
I always explain that sharp blades can cut wood easily and that wood is harder than the skin on our fingers. I therefor try to hold and cover his hands far from the blade to make sure their is no slipping or that he reaches out due to being distracted.
Work safely and enjoy making things together :)

I like the idea of making my own Tools, especially if it is a Tool that is not easily found or readily available. Handmade Tools give great satisfaction and for me it is fun knowing that I created something to help me better improve my woodworking experience.
