Part 2 of 4. This is the second 4 week section of a 4 part course. If you have not taken part 1 please look through our class listings page and start at the beginning to enjoy the full course In this course, students will learn the art of designing and crafting their own furniture using pallets. Students will be introduced to woodworking techniques, safety measures, and the necessary tools to create unique and functional pieces. Guided by an experienced instructor, learners will have hands-on experience in designing, constructing, and finishing their own pallet furniture projects. Week 5: Designing Pallet Furniture: Chairs Week 6: Constructing Pallet Chairs Week 7: Designing Pallet Furniture: Tables Week 8: Constructing Pallet Tables My classes are designed for students of all ages - no previous experience is necessary. However, as this course uses tools if you are signing a younger child up for this course it is suggested that as a parent you watch and help the student manage tools correctly and are always supervised. The flexible schedule (Flex Class) allows your learners to watch the pre-recorded videos and do them at a time that is FUN for them! You can also spend extra time on the topics your child is most interested in. Since this is a flex class with no live meetings, students can log in at a convenient time to complete the week's lesson. We will be going through each week as a group and I will post the lesson weekly (depending on which day you started). The videos will contain the information required to give students a good understanding of each topic and each one will include homework for the students to undertake during the week, as part of a project. After watching each video and completing the homework assignments, students will be provided with feedback and the specific next steps on how to create a process to manage their finances successfully. Time frame for the Week: Mondays - The teacher will post the information needed for the week. Students can submit questions. Tuesdays - Wednesday - The teacher can answer any questions pertaining to the topic of the week. The students will need to complete any homework assignments and answer any questions in the discussion. Thursday - Students need to have all tasks completed and uploaded in the classroom for teacher feedback and discussion. Students will discuss it among themselves. Friday - The teacher will provide feedback to the class and individual students. Saturday - Sunday - The teacher will be available to answer any questions that the students may have for the week or the next week.

Parental Guidance
While this course is designed to be fun and engaging, it does involve the use of woodworking tools, which may be sharp or potentially dangerous if not used correctly. The instructor will provide detailed safety instructions and demonstrations for each tool, and students will be required to follow these guidelines closely. Parents should ensure that their children have proper adult supervision when working on projects at home and are comfortable using the tools provided. Additionally, some finishing techniques involve chemicals, such as paint or stain, which may cause irritation to sensitive individuals. It is essential for learners to follow the instructor's guidance on using these materials safely and to take appropriate precautions, such as wearing gloves or working in a well-ventilated area.
Supply List
Wooden pallets: Students will need a supply of wooden pallets to create their furniture pieces. The number and size of pallets required will depend on the specific projects chosen. Basic woodworking tools: Students will need tools such as a saw, hammer, drill, screwdriver, sandpaper, measuring tape, and a carpenter's square. Fasteners: Wood screws, nails, and brackets will be necessary for assembling the furniture pieces. Safety equipment: Safety goggles, work gloves, and a dust mask should be worn during woodworking tasks to ensure safety. Wood stain or paint (optional): Students may choose to stain or paint their finished furniture pieces to customize the appearance and protect the wood. Paintbrushes, rags, or foam brushes: These will be needed for applying stain or paint to the finished furniture pieces. Wood glue: This will be necessary for securing some joints and reinforcing the furniture's overall structure.
