Need an easy scrap wood project? You can help kids practice their creative thinking with this one from Shadow Ridge Middle School’s creative lab.
The scrap wood we find in most woodshops can be used by beginners for this easy woodworking project. Unfortunately, most middle schools no longer have woodshops, but the rest of us can teach students woodworking by using our scraps to make wooden blocks for the learning labs in our own homes or donate them to schools for their learning labs.
When students use the blocks, they encourage creative and cognitive thinking skills. The blocks also help to improve social skills.
So, if you are looking for something to do with your scrap wood you can help beginning woodworkers by using the wood to make quarter inch wooden sticks like these. Each one is about 1″ wide and 6″ long, but all of the sticks don’t necessarily need to be identical.
Making Wooden Blocks is a Great Beginner Woodworking Project.
This easy scrap wood project is great for beginning woodworkers. Making geometrically precise cuts is one of the first things that any beginning woodworker should learn. Beginners will improve their measuring skills and they can learn to use a hand saw, the band saw, scroll saw, miter saw and even the table saw to make the blocks.
