Shapes in Progress

Now five days into Winterim, the students of "Turn, Baby, Turn!" have learned a lot of woodworking skills. After a lot of hard work, the students' projects are finally taking shape.


Mr. Ken Lindgren, the group's teacher, continues to show the students how to create beautiful woodworking projects. Students use different tools to shape their wooden pieces and to smooth their surfaces.





Thanks for reading my article and watching my video. I appreciate it!!!
I will keep following this group to monitor their progress.

Turn, Baby, Turn!

The Cutting Edge: Woodworking in Groton

Turn, Baby, Turn! requires students to use their own hands to make a wooden project. Students and Mr. Brescia, faculty advisor of the group, use a machine to cut the wood into the shapes they want. A visiting teacher teaches the group.
The students and the leaders have to wear protective gear like dust masts while working to protect themselves.
If you want to see the progress that these students are making. COME BACK to this blog!!!!
