Just be careful not to show him too many of your tools.   He may decide to take up collecting, too.  :cry:

 NO, NO p-toad,  we need the younger generation to carry on after we are no longer able to.

Getting this from an 8 year old would make my month!

I was thinking the same thing.  He's got the right instincts - or he's learning well/you're teaching well.

Just kidding!   I think it's great when kids collect.   I still have my marbles, postcards, a few auto cards and plane cards and a couple of the steel license plates from when i was a kid.   No idea how they survived my mom.

I have a seven year old Grandson who has the collecting bug at least for now, (probably from seeing all the stuff I have laying around) I gave him a no name ratchet and a few sockets  along with some nuts and bolts he can use them with. I want to stay away from chisels, saws, and smashing tools like hammers until a bit later. How can you go wrong? It teaches dexterity, patients and the basic construction.

You must be a very proud Grandpa! My young boy (he's 10 now) also brought some tools from school for his grandpa a year ago and it just feels special. My Dad was very touched by this!
