Hammer Saw Drill Woodworking: Build a Chair
Class experience
Intermediate Level
I designed this little chair to fit the baby from my "Hammer Saw Drill: Intro to Woodworking" course after an Outschool builder asked for more projects. I asked for suggestions and they wanted harder projects and a chair for the baby. This project adds new techniques to increase your skills. With video, I will show you step-by-step how to build this chair. You will use most of the tools and supplies from building previous "Hammer Saw Drill" projects. The video shows all the supplies you will...

My "Hammer Saw Drill” woodworking classes have been widely successful with homeschool groups, in classrooms and grant-funded residencies for people with disabilities, in small-group classes in community centers, and with builders ages 2 to 100 in an intergenerational program. I created the woodworking book "Hammer Saw Drill: Woodworking Together" in collaboration with 40 children. The curriculum is designed to empower learners of all ages and abilities, building confidence and independence through hands-on woodworking skills, the responsible use of tools, and the promotion of creativity and problem solving. I have 30 years experience as an art educator, and have earned both an MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts with teaching licensure, and an MA in Early Childhood Education. My approach to teaching focuses on nurturing individuality, creativity, and discovery to help learners develop skills that enhance self-esteem. I love seeing how woodworking helps learners focus, brings them joy, and builds confidence. I keep my classes small in order to best assist each learner.

I am happy to provide feedback on skills. Please send me a photo of the finished project.Grades Offered
I designed this class for a variety of abilities. Learners from ages 3 to 100 have taken woodworking classes with me and have included people with ADHD, ASD, Down syndrome, muscular dystrophy, and cerebral palsy.
I highly recommend learners first take "Hammer Saw Drill: Woodworking Basics" or "Hammer Saw Drill: Intro to Woodworking." I made this chair class with the understanding that learners have previous experience and skills.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT: a vice or miter box clamps safety glasses work gloves (optional) HAND TOOLS: hammer saw drill and bits awl sandpaper tape measure square nails glue WOOD: pine DECORATING: paint or drawing utensils or coconut oil I will give you exact measurements and any other specific supplies when class begins.
Parents and caregivers, to ensure the safe use of tools, please supervise your learner. The experience may even strengthen your relationship. I learned woodworking from my father and it is still my special connection to him. Remember to trust children and let them use the tools independently. However, if any children have low muscle tone, they may need hand-over-hand assistance. I have done woodworking with preschoolers, older citizens, and people with a variety of disabilities. They can do it and most of them love it. Woodworking builds confidence, trust, and respect. If you have any questions about how to adapt for specific needs, please reach out to me.
I love working with children and integrating themes and different subject areas into my lessons. I have taught preschool, homeschooled my daughter, and tutored learners in math, reading, and writing (including handwriting). I have over 30 years...
