While I agree with you, I'm going to buy several pre-drilled kits and let him "practice" or at least hone his skills a bit before turning him loose on the drill press, lol. He's 15, but a mature 15 at that. I'm going to buy one undrilled blank and he and I will do it together, because I'd like to have a nice freehand. I'm not really concerned about the investment, because it's the time we spend together that matters to me.
Great times for sure
