All of those screws look tacky (to me).
It was designed for kids. I imagine an experienced woodworker could take a few hours and come up with a way to eliminate them. Nah, that would be hard to do.
not insurmountable
mix a little fine sawdust with some glue and cover the screws sand paint green
the hardest part will be finding the right green for a green
that is funny a few hours sounds about right
might use staples and set the depth so the staple sticks out just a little
golfing is supposed to be frustrating so those staples will help with that
...but a great teaching moment for the kid.
Adult: "Do you think it would look better without the screws?"
Kid, Option 1: "No"
Adult: "Then you have no eye for aesthetics. Go play in traffic."
Kid, Option 2: "Yes"
Adult: "OK, let's figure out a way to make that happen."
Disclaimer: I do not condone the practice of actually suggesting that children play in traffic.
it seems that now if you can get them interested in woodworking you let them be because that by itself is hard to do let alone being so bold to tell them how to do it
"Do you think it would look better without the screws?" is a question, not a command. A good teacher takes his cue from both the response and (hopefully) his understanding of the student's personality.
Some students want to extract as much information from the teacher as possible, others want to learn on their own. A good teacher (and parent) recognizes each type of personality and adjusts his teaching methods to fit.
I have 4 kids. (They are all adults now.) #1 and #4 welcome my suggestions and we build on those suggestions together. #2 welcomes my suggestions and then expands on them to the n-th degree without any further prompting from me. #3 simply wants to know the answer to the exact question that
*she* asked. If she wants or needs more information, *she* will ask.It took me many years to figure out how to deal with #3 because I wanted to teach. Once I figured what she was looking for, our relationship improved immensely.
so true
good baseball managers also have this trait
they get a group of guys and if the manager is good he figures out how to win with that group of guys
the notion applies to almost any position and parents are sure no exception but sadly some never figure that out
as a whole i would say humanity is doing better at this than in the past
"as a whole" Classic :)
btw, Don't you think any manager is encumbered with this challenge?
So now it's OK if the adult asks "Do you think it would look better without the screws?"?
i missed that you were looking for an argument
Shall I remind you of something you said to me:
"it seems that now if you can get them interested in woodworking you let them be because that by itself is hard to do let alone being so bold to tell them how to do it"
my position was clearly stated scrutiny is good and required but too often and it can backfire i do not believe in free reign either it is a fine line to walk as you said the approach to criticism is different for everyone
posing a question might be a productive approach
for example
nice putting practice green you made anything you would do different next time
then you could ask want to hear my opinions
some people insist on imposing themselves into and onto everything
Sorry, I mentioned it! ; )
