Maker Workshops @ the Library

Over the next two months I will be volunteering at my local library, running Build a Birdhouse project for kids 5-15.  They are offered free by the library but space is limited and spots fill up fast.  Check the library calendar for the next scheduled workshop.

But before I run the workshop there is allot of work prepairing the kits so that even the smallest hands can build it independently.

﻿﻿

The weather has been great to make my kits.  Here I am cutting out the different pieces that will make the birdhouses.

﻿﻿

There are also hundreds of holes to drill.  But this great old drill press is up to the task.

﻿﻿

I need allot of space on kit manufacturing days.  Here the pieces take over the driveway as I label each pice so kids can follow how to put their birdhouse together correctly.

Today 13 kids built my kits under my leadership.  There was a lot of work preparing, setting up and cleaning up after a workshop.  But working with the kids during the building phase is a blast.  They catch on fast and are hammering like pros by the end of the day.   

﻿﻿

Check out my last post for pictures of my workshops over the years.  Projects include birdhouses, birdfeeders, planters, crystal radios, Morse code, desk organizers and tool boxes.
