my youngest son is 7 and he always wants to help me when I'm doing DIY
Last month I was re-felting the shed roof and guess what? yep, he was up there with me and he was using the blow torch to torch it on

He loves helping me with anything, he has helped me make some brackets to hold my intercooler water spray jets, and I took my wipers off, he rubbed them down and sprayed them too. he even noticed to washer bottle was a bit dirty inside and said I should wash it in the sink :lol:

when he was 3, I knocked my kitchen through he was helping me with stuff, knocking bricks out, carrying them to the skip. When I was doing the plumbing he wanted to cut the copper pipe for me, so I showed him how to use a pipe slice, then he even put the flux on and used the blow torch to sweat some fittings up.

while out at the car earlier he explained to me how to change a shocker, jack up, wheel off, undo bolts, lift up 'hood' and undo bolts at top. I said 'why did you call it hood?' he said there's a game he wants for the laptop and he's been watching it on youtube and that's what the lad calls it. I asked what it was called - 'car mechanic simulator'

My 10 yr old daughter helped a bit with lapping the valves in when I was resembling the heads and passes me tools when I'm under the car but I wouldn't let her loose with a blow lamp .

Cos she'd probably cook the dog or set fire to the grumpy neighbours fence when I turned my back lol
