In Wood Shop students will learn the basics and fundamentals of hand and power tools and how to safely operate them. We will discuss the various uses for tools and the practical applications for their everyday use. Student will complete projects that they may take home once they are finished so they can proudly display them or gift them to loved ones. The projects will slowly progress through skill level using various techniques as we advance through the school year. Make sure to check back periodically to see photos of our students in action!
