All the time. The 14 year old gets to help and learn, but I'm finding I'm more like my Dad, in that he is doing all the handing of tools and parts, while I do the work. Shoot, I was 28 years old before my Dad allowed me to run a Skill saw in his presence or swing a hammer, up to then I was the designated board holder .

My 6 year old daughter now makes a very capable 2nd person for brake bleeding jobs. She even gets upset if I decide to use my pressure bleeder instead of her. Now, the 4 year old gets upset if I don't ask her to hand me a wrench or a part. Problem with that is she doesn't understand what you want......yet .

It's like an old time aprenticeship.
