Woodworking Grade 8

Woodworking

In eighth grade, students begin bulding functional furniture using traditional tools and techniques. They often build a threee-legged stool, a small table, or a bench. More complex use of mallots and gauges is required in these projects, as well as a greatly expending set of other tools. Mortise and tennon joints are used to join the legs to the top.
