Cub Scout Project....

Canyon came up and spent the weekend with us.  He had to make something out of wood for Cub Scouts so Grandpa took him out to the shop and they made these neat bookends. 
Canyon was able to use the saw and sander in making them.  When they were ready to put together he got to glue them together and use the clamps to hold them in place while they dried.  Once they had dried, he had to sand them one more time and then it was time to paint.  Grandpa showed him how to paint with the spray can and told him how important it was to lightly sand between each coat of paint.
When all of this was accomplished, they brought the bookends into the house and I had cut out of vinyl the letters that Canyon wanted put on each bookend.
He is making his room a sports themed room so these will go perfect in his room.

Bookends that Canyon made....

of course he had to have the two rivals in Utah
(UofU and BYU)

Grandpa and Canyon with the bookends...
Canyon had to make sure they stood by their team...

This was a fun project for Grandpa and Canyon and they did such an awesome job.  
It is always fun to work in the shop with Gramps.
