    I don't agree with this. Children should ALWAYS be carefully
    supervised, but don't lock them out. If you love your kids, why not
    inspire them, let them watch you doing what you love. Give them a
    lump of wax or some beads. My 7 year daughter old uses a jewelers saw
    to make her own jewelry. I was never locked out of my father's
    workshop and I have always felt comfortable around tools, even at a
    young age.
