If he has a greenhouse then gardening of all types will follow and there are as many "neato" things for gardening as there is for carpentry

I agree with Marie.. How about a gift cert at his nearest Nursery? he's going to be looking at lots of different plants and stuff.. Or deliver him 20 bags of good potting soil!

My dad loved model planes and actually won awards many years ago when we lived in Toledo and Toronto. We bought him one a few years ago, he retook flying lessons, but he's really shaky and couldn't control them. The building kept him occupied for weeks though...
