Grandpa Farnsworth's Woodworking Class


On our way up to Brian Head we enrolled Preston in Grandpa Farnsworth's Woodworking 101. Haha. No, we didn't but we did somehow convince him to help Preston make his Pinewood Derby car. The race is right when we get back from our vacation. I am so glad Grandpa helped. He made sure Preston was hands on and really doing the work himself. Preston had the idea for the car, and drew the plans too. You will have to stay tuned to see the finished car.

My favorite is that Grandpa even had safety goggles for Preston! So funny! I love it. Seriuosly though, how cute is he with those glasses on huh? I think he should rock them skiing. JK. This is my favorite machine ever! The drill press! I know how to use it! I really do. When I was at school at BYU I had to make a display case for shells. I had to go to the lab and make it using a drill press! So fun! I was so happy. I think Preston liked using it too. While the boys were with Grandpa in Wood Shop, Chloe was super busy. . . After a full morning at Grandpa's school 'o wood, we had to hit the road. This little Vegas gem was too funny not to post. We spotted this guy right before hopping onto the freeway in Vegas. Chloe was a little unsure of Grandpa's truck. We borrowed it to take to Brian Head. No problem, she just stuck on her safety gear and soon felt "special." The good news is we made it to Brian Head without any problems!! Yay! The Humpherys too!

Awesome post! While YouTube is great for finding information on woodworking and how to start your first project—finding simple to follow, step-by-step woodworking plans is something I rarely find in YouTube videos. If you’re looking for dimensional plans that lay out the entire process of a project—piece by piece and step-by-step—I highly recommend Ted’s Woodworking Guide. It’s an excellent guide with thousands of plans that go into detail about how to complete various projects. I believe it costs around $60-70, but the content within is well worth the price.

I really hope this helps someone out there. Good luck!
