Yep, my 8 year old son, who isn't really into doing things in the shop still points out to his friends, "my dad made that". Not sure it is so much a desire for envy but just that he thinks it's a cool thing that his dad can make those things.
Actually, for that matter, he doesn't want to do much of anything else until he can do it perfectly -- still having a hard time making him understand that you have to *do* things to be able to do them perfectly. Until he can play a piano piece to perfection, or when he was younger, able to color within the lines, his words were always, "please, you do it". (I think I'm raising a manager).
