Description:

This introduction to the world of industrial design through woodworking will enable youth new to woodworking to develop modern woodworking skills safely in our community woodshop under the instruction of experienced woodworking instructors. 

Students will get hands-on experience using a mini-lathe to turn wood  into finished projects like a wooden pen or magic wand,  an electric planer in the finishing of projects like a laminated cutting board or chess game board, and a bandsaw and drill press to complete projects like an analog clock or a wooden toolbox. Our junior woodworkers are not limited to just these few sample projects, only by their imagination and the tools and time on hand. 

In the process of building multiple projects, our junior woodworkers will learn modern wood preparation including measuring, joinery, planning, sanding, routing, lathing, cutting, gluing, and finishing techniques in this action-packed camp. Completion of this beginning woodworking will allow our junior woodworkers to continue onto our advanced woodworking camps that will challenge them to apply their skills to more complex wood projects. 

Safety is our top priority, thus closed-toed/heeled shoes are required, as well as form-fitting cloths and the removal of all jewelry. Safety glasses are required in the woodshop. Maker Nexus can provide safety glasses that are sanitized after each use, however, we recommend each student bring their own pair.
