My husband can't manage to dial the phone or operate a tape dispenser, but let him get his hands on a screwdriver and he's good to go. He has dismantled his walker, his bedside commode, a TV tray... and one screw always goes missing with each project. I need to find something he can work on so he feels productive but doesn't matter if he destroys it. Any thoughts?

I'm the same with woodworking. I enjoy doing something with my hands. There are lots of things he could do with hand tools. Upholstery comes to mind. Buy or find an old chair that needs to be reupholstered. That will keep him busy for a while.
