Students in Travis Oliver’s Beginning Woods class are starting to finish their first “blueprint” project, in which they have to take materials and follow a blueprint to achieve the desired result.
The main goal of the project is for students to use the table saw, miter saw, drill press, and sanders. They also get their first taste of gluing material together and applying a finish. Oliver calls the project “The Scrap Wood Bird Feeder”, because the students use random parts to make these from previous years cutoffs.
Oliver and his class thanked Sunrich Products in Crookston for graciously donating black oil bird seed to fill the bird feeders up.
The projects pictured below are from Brodie, Eli, Marshall, Masen, Keaton, and Tanner.
