Chris Norman of Chris's Woodworking led classes that taught how to safely use the following power tools: Table Saw, Compound Mitre Saw ("Chop Saw"), Band Saw, Router, Drill Press, Sanders This hands-on program allowed the students to build various projects to develop their skills and confidence, and they were also able to design and build a custom project of their choice. There was also time to make some projects for kids in the hospital and the elderly. They learned about fasteners and the types of wood available and how to oil and stain wood properly. The focus was on fun, safety & creativity!
Everyone started out by building a battle ship or cruise ship which allowed the use of each machine in the shop.
Then students took on a variety of individual projects including chairs, bird houses and feeders, Christmas decorations, shelves, candle stands, airplanes, and a horse barn.
Awesome work!
Stefan's chair - pretty cool!
