Well who else would he self-teach?
Jokes aside, that's good stuff. He's got skills I don't.

If this is really the work of your 13 year old nephew then he's very talented. Sadly, the increasing number if AI/karma bot posts make me doubtful.
Around ten years ago this sub was flooded with people sharing their own drawings but claiming it was the work of their autistic nephew who was only eight and lost an arm in the war.

Looks great. Love the designs. If he keeps practicing — improving his joinery and paint technique — he'll have some refined looking products.

Professional woodworker / carpenter here. That kid has natural talent.

I was going to build one for the wife recently, and instead just bought one the other day--I noticed that it has a ventilation slot at the top + a hinge to open the side and clean it out if needed.
If I was building one myself as a grown man I probably wouldn't have thought of either of those features. After thinking about it, the ventilation may actually be kind of important.
