He hasn’t learned to bend nails yet , give him some time.
I was waiting for a “thumb moment”.
And the “sob” that follows that moment
The tyke is better than some of my employees when I ran a const company. You know, like cutting a plank between two saw horses, generating huge clouds of blue smoke. Then telling me the blade is dull.
Or, an ‘experienced’ plumber who didn’t know how to sweat copper
I’d hire this kid. Does he come in a ten pack?
He’ll be a framer by age 5!
Brings back memories. My 2 year old son was doing the same with roofing nails into a soft piece of fir. He had a 2 oz. Ball peen hammer. It was a 6×8 workshop. He had run out of nails and I was busy doing something else and I was barefoot. He hit my left big toe hard enough to split the nail and break my toe. I yelled bloody murder and he ran for the security of his mother. I have had problems with that toe ever since.
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail…lol

Good on grampa
One of the best things in life.
Actually makes ya wanna cry.
I had timber borders on the walkway to my shop and to keep my son out from underfoot I’d start a line of framing nails and give him his small hammer. He probably had a couple hundred nails in those things.
That’s the stuff that fond memories of Grandpa are built from.
