Tuesday.

Private 1:1 session. Check out the images in this post of the cassette tape box with a smiling face burnt into the wood.

SEN group started on a bird table. The Mindcraft double axe is coming along nicely as is the storage box and a new project started which is a claw hand that can grab items.

Mixed Primary group and the dinosaur cage on wheels is nearly complete. We have a go-cart in the making as well as a bird table. Another bird table was created in this one session and looks great.

Private 1:1 and we finished the long sword and nearly finished making another military item.

After-school Primary Aged group produced 1 finished aircraft and another in the process of being done. The tractor seat being modified for a go-cart is coming along nicely as is the presents for one child's family members. We also had a lovely hamster box crafted.

Busy day but as fun as always.

Friday!

11+ group started making a steam chamber for bending wood. Very useful piece of equipment for all manner of carpentry and joinery. Lots of fun had making this, next week we will put it to use with it's maiden test run.

SEN group. One young lad has finished their wooden suitcase complete with wheels. The boat has had some joints filled with sealant in the hope it may float! We also have a mini water feature under way, a brilliant little figure with spring limbs and a very clever Minecraft sign cut out. All to be ginied next week. Well done this group!
