I'm 24 years old and even just today I cut myself a bit with my rotary. Whoops!
Good luck!
The funny thing is that he is more scared of the rotary cutter than anything. Both my boys have been taught to respect it and not to touch it. That is unless they want to get into trouble :mrgreen:
The idea of teaching them how to use it is great. That will happen, but I do not think I am ready for that, nor has he been interested in it yet....
