Woodshop Winter 2012

Rotating Desktop Organizer (Winter 2012) The Rotating Desktop Organizer is this Winter's woodshop project. Students learn about tools, design and assembly. Woodshop is fun, rewarding and educational. Participants take pride in creating something out of wood and feel a sense of accomplishment as they craft their project and watch it develop into something recognizable. During the process they are both learning and having fun. We teach basic woodshop skills with a focus on safety. Children learn how to saw, glue, measure, drill, nail, follow directions, think for themselves and design. Everyone remembers woodshop! This session we are building a Rotating Desktop Organizer. It has 360° rotation with 5 compartments, including a large deep one in the center, an optional shelf for note pads and an optional screw for holding tape. It is a fun project to build. Accessories and extra detail can be added if time allows. It is a wonderful show piece and fun to use too!

Jet Plane (Spring 2011) This session we are building a Jet Plane. For those who enjoy sawing, there will be plenty of that and It will keep the kids busy and concentrating. The angles offer change to all the 90 angles they usually cut. The fuselage is in fact a hidden storage compartment for money or other special items. Accessories and extra detail can be added if time allows. It is a wonderful show piece and fun to use too!

Lemonade Bar Bank (Winter 2011) This session the project is a Lemonade Bar/Bank. As usual, much attention has been given to the detail and a fair amount of precision is required. The box, when closed, will resemble a collection of sticks or a log, but it opens to reveal a spacious area. The log box is an eye catching, useful and unusual box. It makes for a great center piece and much conversation.
