This is a 3-week after school course designed to give children between the ages of 8 – 11 years, a solid foundation in woodworking techniques. Students will predominantly use hand tools for safe construction with the exception of battery powered hand drills and both manual and plug-in random orbital Festool sanders.

Tools used in class include: hammer, drill, screwdriver, pull and coping saws, ruler, tape measure, pliers, clamps, smoothing plane, sandpaper.
Students will learn a variety of skills, including: cutting wood, gluing & clamping, measuring, painting, sequencing-assembly, drilling & screwing, sanding, color-matching, hammering, following plans, hand-eye coordination & dexterity, modulation of effort/force, visualization (from start to finished project) and hinge function/placement.
