Woodworking with Will...

Posted in Book Bin and More

 

In a previous post, Kristi inquired about our woodworking kit

that Will and I were working on.

 

I signed him up with one of those 'cheesy' clubs

where you receive a new kit every 6 weeks.

It's called the Young Woodworkers Kit Club.

I searched online for a little bit this afternoon

but wasn't able to find a website for them.

So if anyone is interested in having the mailing address,

here it is below:

Young Woodworkers Kit Club

P.O. Box 8000

Big Sandy, Texas 75755

 

Here is a picture of our first kit...

 

 

It came with the wood and the other pieces needed, a hammer,

a pilot hole drill, nails, sandpaper and instructions.

It was something that we temporarily signed up for to see how it works.

We will be cancelling though, due to our move

and will likely resume a temporary membership

when we get settled in to see how we like the kits.

I think the kits were anywhere between $12.00 to $16.00...

but please don't quote me on that.

We decided to do this temporarily until Daddy is able to do

some regular woodworking projects with him.

Daddy is still learning, too...

but we still think he did a great job on our deck!

That first project really broke him in!

 

 

I also wanted to mention that Lowe's and Home Depot

offer woodworking projects for children each month.

And a friend of mine said that she has seen

some woodworking kits at a Michael's craft store.

 

Woodworking is a great handicraft... especially for boys.

Ideally, it would be great for father and son to do together,

but to help my beloved, we will stick with the kits for now.

 

Hope that helps some.
