My kid asked me why my shop floor is so clean and it made me stop.
He said 'Dad, it's like you're drawing with metal.' I'd never thought of the machine path like a drawing before. Now I watch the tool move and see the lines it's making. Anyone else ever get a new way to look at the work from someone outside the trade?

Love when kids point out the art in our work.

Yeah that line about kids seeing the art in the work is so true, @wren_smith44. I read this thing about a kid who told a plumber his pipe layout looked like a dinosaur, and the guy said it made his whole week. It's cool how they notice the shapes and patterns we stop seeing. Makes you remember there's a craft to everything, not just the obvious stuff.
