Home > ProductsWoodshop 101 For Kids“Woodshop 101 for Kids” Woodshop 101 for Kids is a 188-page book that teaches the basics of woodworking through the building of fun and useful projects.
“Woodshop 101 for Kids” is different from any other woodworking book on the market. It’s based solely on using hand tools. This is an advantage for several reasons. First, there isn’t a large outlay of money, most tools needed you probably already have. Second, it allows younger kids to be involved in building the projects. Third, it’s much SAFER! There are other woodworking books that use hand tools but most stop short on a very important point. They Don't Teach How To Use Hand Tools! Woodshop 101 for Kids teaches how to use hand tools safely and effectively. It even shows what to look for in a good tool and what size is best for your kids. Another thing that is different about Woodshop 101 for Kids is that when writing it I didn’t assume that parents, grandparents, or whoever would be teaching the kids knew anything about woodworking either. If you’ve never picked up a saw before or don’t know the difference between pine and oak, don’t worry, you can still teach woodworking to your kids and learn as you go. If you do know your way around a shop, then you’re ahead of the game. Having the projects already planned out will still make building each project much easier. We’ve already done all the head scratching for you! We homeschool our children so I wrote “Woodshop 101 for Kids” as a curriculum to be used as a semester class, one lesson per week. This doesn’t mean that “Woodshop 101 for Kids” can only be used by homeschoolers or that one lesson per week has to be taught. On the contrary, anyone can use and benefit from the information in our book and go through the lessons at your own pace. The first lessons are all on using individual hand tools with an activity at the end to reinforce what has been taught. The first lesson teaches the difference between hard and soft woods and how logs are sawn into boards. Then there are lessons on:
The projects start out very easy and progressively get more challenging. Every project lesson has a “Things You’ll Need” box that tells all the items you need to build each project. Also, a cut list is provided that tells exactly what size to cut each part. Here are the projects you can build:

There are over 280 pictures throughout the book that help explain what the text is talking about. There are also many graphs, illustrations and definition blocks that will help avoid any confusion about what the lesson is teaching. So Why Teach Woodworking To Your Kids?
