Teaching woodworking for Luis Winters’ Science Fair Project

This Spring, 2013, we had the pleasure of welcoming one Lewis Winters to our shop to teach and help him to build wooden instruments for his science fair project. The video below tells the story the best:

Volunteer Build: A Loft Bed to Help my Landlady

My landlady Roberta is on a fixed income and lost a big piece of it recently. She was not able to make her monthly mortgage payments. However she did have an office room that she could rent if we could find a place for her office. We decided to build a loft bed in her bedroom to make room for the office. There was no money, and I had almost no time, so we offered a free woodworking class.

From this we received: Education for the students, a cash flow for Roberta, a beautiful piece of work for me to show off, and everybody had a great time!That is my landlady in the blue, and some of the volunteers/students who made this happen.
