Thanks all,  It was satisfying.  Yesterday one of his 10 yo sisters gave me a hug and thanked me for making that for him.  Made this old man happy.  thanks all for the nice words.

Duckster, no plans to make a pedal car yet, but he is only 14 months.....and yes the neighbors laser cuts too.  He rides with me a lot on my golf cart around the property, but for now the cart is dead, it is at the golf cart hospital but could be serious.

Gr8- I have no idea what kind I am going to get.  I was thinking of saving for a while and getting a Shark CNC with replaceable laser, but it is 5k and a lot of room.  I also want a 3d printer, so we'll see what wins.  For now I have a number of requests to build. 

Splint- Is there such a thing as "foot friendly"?  and...it's not my house.

Eric- the trading has worked out well.  I never mentioned he is also a recently retired IT manager.  I have a lot of computers and a server so he has been very helpful.  He is building a Doll house from scratch for his mother.  OMG what a project that is.  He started in Jan and is about 50% done.  He has cut individual siding and cedar shakes, working casement windows, and a 6 panel door so far.....
