It is kind of nice because he works for peanut butter and jelly.

[carleshicks]

he says he is working on a "dibson F-flive"

Too cool. http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

All right that is enough showing off my kid. I was just excited that he was having fun helping me.

He is big for his age and looks to be quite precocious (for any of you ban@o players that means he is exhibiting mature qualities at an unusually early age). http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

He turns three in October but he is rather big for his age, and I think rather smart too but I am biased. He can be a big help in my shop he love to clean I just give him a wisk broom and a dustpan or plug in the shop vac and he will do a pretty good job of cleaning for at least a half hour. Heck I can't get most my employees at work to stay focused that long.

Child Labor Child Labor! That's heart warming Carl. Best of luck as you two continue the project.

Wait a minute, does he have a mask, saftey glasses and steel-toed shoes on? THis could be an issue.

maybey I should delete the pictures before OSHA sees them.

I hear the minimum wage is going to be raised to TWO peanut butter and jelly sandwiches an hour. I hope your budget can take it.

That's really cute Carl. #There's nothing better than kids! I have 2 boys myself. #My oldest (4 years old) picked up an old acoustic guitar of mine (which I couldn't play at the time) and kept asking me to teach him a song. #So I started learning guitar so that I can encourage him and from that became interested in mandolin. I placed the order for my first mandolin yesterday. #It's a Mid-Mo M-11. Should be here next week.

The moral of this story is that all roads lead to mandolin!
