A Little HELP

We have a problem.

Our second born is much too creative for me and my hubby.
Here is a project he wanted us to complete with him.

He just wanted us to help him build a nutcracker.
He had everything worked out (in his head).
He even had figured out what and how many parts we needed.

The PROBLEM is
we are not that crafty
and we are NOT good at shaping and painting wood.

We tell him this and his next request...
build a Buzz-Saw Louie.

It seems simple enough to him,
but much too complicated for us.
