Example Projects:

A step stool is often our introductory carpentry/woodworking project. To the left, you can see a picture of a student working on their step stool. We always offer instructions and guided projects if desired, but also encourage students to be creative and design their own project!

We love asking students “What do YOU want to make?” One student wanted to make something for her grandpa, and designed an American flag shelf for him that she took home to paint.

In between projects while waiting on a wood shipment, one student got creative and made a bird with some leftover scrap wood!
