Learning woodworking with my son

My 7 year old asked if we could build something together. Started with simple stuff like bird feeders and now we're doing actual projects. I'm learning as I go watching YouTube. Just made a small shelving unit for his room.

It's not perfect but he's so proud. And honestly I'm getting into it too. Planning a bigger project for this winter. Something about working with your hands and teaching your kid the same skill is just hitting different.

Man I love this. There's something special about working with your hands and creating something tangible with your kid. These are the moments he's going to remember forever.

This is so cool. Seven is the perfect age for building stuff together. You're creating memories and teaching him real skills at the same time. What did you guys end up building first?

Bird feeder is a solid starter project. Before you know it he's going to want to build actual furniture and you'll need to level up your skills to keep up with him. Love seeing parent-kid hobbies like this come together.
