My 16 year old step son has been bugging me to run the saw.I know it depends on the actual kid (young man),responsible,mature and physically able and all that. I have a smaller johnney red he could learn on instead of my big saw.The thing is almost everyone that runs or has run a saw around here at one time or another have had accidents or very close calls me included.I guess theres a risk involved in everything we do but I would feel real bad if I let him do this and he gets hurt.I keep turning him down and he says I'm treating him like a baby. I feel bad but have mixed up feelings about this. I know some of you have been through this. What to do?
