It seemed perfectly reasionable at the time and nothing bad happened but I admit I would not have done the same with my son. It did however give me a lifelong compulsion to make things and an appreciation of craftsmanship such as this great display of ingenuity, attention to detail and hard work.

Really enjoying this thread. Thanks for sharing,
