Have you ever wondered what goes into building something? From birdhouses to baseball bats, carpentry is a skill as old as time. Come join us as we learn by getting our hands dirty (while keeping all of our fingers!). Learn about how wood 'works', from grain to ply and back again as we build our own birdhouse and professional-quality Cajon (sitting drum) using a mix of doweled and screwed construction techniques. The fun will be unlimited, but tools will be restricted to hammers, sandpaper, and screwdrivers for safety and supervision purposes. Students will leave with an understanding of wood construction, finishing techniques, shop safety, tool use and purpose, and how to make small wood repairs.
