I am like a lot of others i started working when i was about 10[if you
could call it working]. With my Dad he was a carpenter and taught me a
lot be fore i lost him at [my] age of 18. I went on to teach 2
brothers and two sons the same trade. And made my living at it till i
retired also picked up a few other skills along the way. Most Kids now
days learn to collect from Mom and Dad every nickel or toy they can.
Then peer pressure teaches them to do nothing constructive. Go to
school drink drug up and every one else is to feel sorry for them and
help them out. They all are born with a brain like us and know right
from wrong.
enough of this rant

Off topic for the most part, but considering how most of us were
raised, maybe not so much.
The story may be more relative to southeastern states due to the amount
of manual labor, but I’m certain midwest grain farms could fall
into this as well, maybe more so if you consider the larger equipment.
I’m not in favor of putting kids at risk, but with proper
supervision and job selection I have trouble finding a problem. Your
thoughts before you head to the shop and tinker on some old iron on
this chilly (it’s less than 50deg here, way below normal) morning.
Anyway, you know where the delete button is.
