My new Apprentice

[Specializedjon]

Did a euro for this young man last year amd he asked then if he could help in the shop. Fast forward to this year, he called and asked if he could help me in the shop. First day was yesterday. Got him started on euros. Good kid, good family…he's not chatty…he just follows directions and works. Rare find these days in a 15 yr old. He's got plans to join the Army after graduation. That being said, I put some crayons out for him to snack on (in case he changes his mind and becomes a Marine)

Didn't realize how hard it would be to supervise/teach while I work

Had good conversation about God, the world/politics and his Army plans. This kids gonna be just fine.

Gonna get him going on fleshing next week

Good on ya for taking him under your wing. But hold the crayons, he is going Army, not Marines.

Good kid right there!

That's one way to gain a lifetime customer, show him how much of a PITA taxidermy is that he'll gladly pay someone else to do, especially once he realizes McDonald's pays more

Good for you though. Way too many craftsman are afraid to take someone under their wing, being afraid they might loose business. In reality it's just not the case in most instances.

Good on you for teaching him, sounds like a good kid.

Good to see the younger guys / ladies getting interested in taxidermy. Getting harder to find good ones any more.
