Eight is old enough to start using actual hand tools.

8 years old need constant supervision when handling actual tools, especially sharp ones. Not because they don't understand how to use them conceptually but because they aren't coordinated or experienced enough not to hurt themselves.

Can confirm, have an 8yo.

Shame on you! You bought an 8 year old and are using them for slave labor! /s

Yup, but it's a lot of micromanagement, would not recommend.
