About

Kids will learn basic woodworking skills while building a rubber-band powered paddle boat.

Starting with a rectangular blank, the kids will cut it into the shape of a boat and drill holes to insert dowels. They will use a hand plane to smooth the edges and bevel the hull. If time permits, we will  assemble the paddles and try out the boats.

The class is open to kids 8 and older. Parents are welcome to join their children, but it is not required. Parents will be asked to sign a permission form.

There is a $5 materials fee, payable at the class, to cover purchase of the wood.
