Making a Bench Hook from Scrap Wood in the Junk Box. – Page 8.

John and Mary were playing outside when their friend Hemi came over to play.
Hemi had been a friend for a long time and would often visit John and Mary to play or stay over for the night.

“Hi John, Hi Mary”, said Hemi as he stepped into their driveway.

Together they both said, “Hi Hemi, what you up to?”

“Nothing much, just visiting you two.”, and he smiled at them.

Mary and John told Hemi all about the work in the workshop that they had been doing with their Father and they went on to say that the last talk they had in the workshop with their father was about safety.

“My Dad is always away, I wish he could show me something about woodwork as well. We don’t have a workshop though.”, said Hemi.

“Hey”, said Mary, “Lets go ask Dad if we can do something right now in the workshop and you can join us Hemi!”

“Great idea”, said John, “You keen Hemi?”

“Sure am.” said Hemi.

And with that the three of them rushed into the house to ask Mr Robinson if he would show them something knew in the workshop.

“Hey Dad! said John and Mary as they burst into the Kitchen just as Mr Robinson was finishing his drink of coffee.

“Hello Mr Robinson!”, said Hemi politely.

“Can we do another woodwork project dad, while Hemi is here so he can join in?”

“Oh sure, no problem at all. I was going to read a book, but since Hemi is here we better go see what we ca do. Come on Hemi!” said a laughing Mr Robinson.

And they all trooped out to the workshop.

Father then went on to explain that there were many tools in the workshop that a good wood worker can make themselves, even from scrap wood from the junk box. Then he led them to the junk box to each pick out some wood for the project that he had in mind for them all to make.
