Just thought it would have some educational value. Since he has RP he is talking more to me about blindness. He is eleven an in the 5th grade. Last year he and his teacher made arrangements for me to take my guide dog in to talk to his class. I do like the alternative idea of a bird house. He loves birds and owns a few talkers. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dale Leavens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2008 2:25 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] grandson's request for an idea
Why a braille clock? There must be thousands of things from bird houses to CD racks or drawers which offer varieties of interesting joinery techniques. You might like to google something like woodworking projects for kids. How old is the boy? Maybe toys or puzzles? Perhaps there is a reason you wish to focus on blindness but there is more out there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lenny McHugh" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "handyman-blind" <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, September 07, 2008 12:18 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] grandson's request for an idea >I am kind of at a loss for Christian's request for help.
