I have a hard time imagining why someone wouldn't want someone to learn how to use power tools. Most of the people I know over 30 are well versed in their use and plenty of people under 30 at least know how not to get themselves hurt. Heck, everyone I went to high school with knows how to use at least a bandsaw, belt sander, soldering iron, and a few other things (we still have mandatory shop class in these parts). Why someone would want to deny someone learning a very useful skilll is entirely beyond me. You can save so much money on things by being able to build them yourself, like how my parents install hardwood floors, built floor to ceiling bookcases in the living room, and my dad built, singlehandedly, a 10' sailboat. To me its like saying you shouldn't learn to drive because you could get killed in a wreck.
