Advice on career choice -- Working with your hands?

I'm advising a high school senior -- just a friend, not in an official capacity. Typical teenager, he has no idea what he'd like to do with his life.



His exact comments are: ';I like working with my hands, but having to think about what I'm doing. I dont think I could ever work a desk job.'; I agree: there's no way he's right for a desk job.



He currently cooks in a fast food place. ';All motion, no thinking.'; He hates it.



Any suggestions as to what kind of career might fit these requirements?
