I think the most difficult thing to convey to a youngster is the seriousness of the instructions and warnings that are required. That is no time to be gentle and polite or 'politically correct'.

You must get there attention totally!

Start out with safer stuff and 'graduate' into the more risky stuff as it is determined that attention and understanding have been absorbed properly.

Trick is to do so without scaring the bejabbers out of them.:D

If you have an issue of "Hands On" from the spring/summer of 1989 on page 6 there are some pics of kids using the SS's.
SS Mark V (1983 from Grandfather) upgraded to a 510, pieces to make a 500 mini, SS bandsaw, belt sander, broken scroll saw, and strip sander, Jet VS Mini Lathe, and tons of Lee Valley and vintage Stanley planes. Woodcraft slow speed grinder and a German made Tormek wannabe. Ridgid TS 3650 Table Saw, General 80-075LM Jointer.
