Done!

This was a lot of me having to show him what to do and then stepping back. Of letting Pop Pop and e give some pointers. It was definitely a guy thing. He did most of the work himself  with minimal assistance. And I think it turned out pretty cool.

I told him as he got older we could make whatever improvements he wanted.

I think this year’s super cool gadget addition was the LED light in the lid. Good thinking, e!  TJ and Dad picked out some good solid handles that will work well. And Pop Pop was a trooper helping with sanding and spray painting of the letters… and putting on the pesky chain.

When TJ is older he gets to help make a plain foot locker for another Boy Scout.
