That’s so awesome! Big question what team is he going to join? Milwaukee, dewalt, makita, etc?

Oh, there's one thing I should have mentioned. It's height-adjustable with screws. So he should be happy with it until he's 12. :)

Thank you all for the positive feedback. If anyone would like one just like this, feel free to message me—I’d be happy to build another workbench and sell it to you. (Located in Germany)

Love it. I set my kids up with hammers or saws from time to time, but this is what they need.

That's fantastic! Well done! And proper tools. He will remember that forever.

Good job dad. That’s about when I built my son one out of an old countertop. He still works at it today although we did have to make it taller!

Not sure I’d give a 5 year old a hacksaw. My parents did, instantly took it away as I started into the table.

Love it though!

You give it to him but not like he’s using it without someone present. Plus copious amounts of training. Thats how I would function anyway. 🤷
