If your son is interested in computers try Raspberry Pi. A ton of cool projects to do. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2895874/10-insanely-innovative-incredibly-cool-raspberry-pi-projects.html

Depends on his age.

My son has helped me work on cars since he was three; he likes being a part of changing tires, starters, and so on.

I pulled out my trombones from high school while we were disassembling and cleaning his trumpet, and we jammed a little (until I realized how long it had been since I actually played!)

We also hung up new curtains in his room; I made him do all the measuring, marking, drilling, fastening.

Years ago we practiced his pitching (until my hand hurt so bad from catching one too many of his fast balls!)

We built a model rocket and launched it at the park - that one is good for most ages!

It is a good sign that you want to bond with him - never give up that feeling!

Lego. If they're young it's fun to build the big ones as a family. Just building stuff in general, it seems. Just don't fall into the Pinewood Derby trap where you take over and the kid is left out. I hear shooting is also good, though I've never tried it with my dad. Building a PC was good practice on how to plan and organize a project. My dad and I also had fun playing Limbo (the video game) and we took turns. You're really only limited to your imagination.

I say music for everything. But learning an instrument was a good way for me to bond with people. Assuming they're interested in learning too.

This may get downvoted, but Pokemon Go. It's a good way to learn about the area you live in. You can talk about the historical landmarks you find and get your son to learn about your town/city's history.

Almost any activity you can do alone with your son or father is bonding. Just do it! Get off your ass, out of the phone, console, tv, or computer and do it. Get out of the house before they are grown. The only way you can fail is to wait 18 years and realize it's too late.

Most anything that involves the outdoors, hand tools, physical and mental hardship, failure, success, autonomy and safety.
